Shortly after we were married in 2002, Drew traded in his 2 seater for Chevy Tahoe. We lived in Baton Rouge in a cute little 2 bedroom house surrounded by oaks a few blocks away from the LSU lakes. After Drew finished up with his MBA we loaded up a UHaul which he drove and I drove the Tahoe to Houston. We moved into a house on the east edge of Katy. Within a year, we loaded up the UHaul and the Tahoe again and moved to Waco. A few months after that, we loaded up the UHaul (maybe this is a tribute to UHaul and not the Tahoe - ha) and Tahoe again and moved back to Katy. A few years passed and we were blessed with a sweet baby boy and that Tahoe carefully brought us home from the hospital. We loaded up the UHaul and Tahoe again and made the moved to our current house in Katy. Six months later that Tahoe brought home Andrew's baby sister Lila. Any road trip we've taken, the Tahoe has been our guide. Over the last year, it sort of went from being Drew's truck to being my truck. It had great cargo room for the double stroller and groceries. Andrew could pick the truck out in the parking lot. In the 7 years we had it, it also racked up 130k miles. Great truck. I can say I'm definitely a little more emotional about getting rid of the truck than any house we've left (or maybe that's my failing memory).
We brought home our new ride last night. It gets much better gas mileage. Also made in the USA. It has a 3rd row so we can carpool or just pick up play dates (remember that both kids are in full fledged car seats). It's shiny and smells so great! After months of research, we settled on an Outlook. Go Saturn! Looking forward to many more road trips but hopefully no new houses in this truck.
