I’ve been a farmwife for two years. But I’ve been driving this… …and it’s just hard to feel like a farmwife when you’re driving an Altima named “Chip.” Don’t get me wrong. That car has surely done it’s duty. I bought it in 2002 with 18,0000 miles, and now it has 165,000 miles. It has gone the distance, and been very loyal.
But it was time for an upgrade.
So we did.
And now I drive this…Yippie! This week we bought a Ford Expedition! This is quite a bit different than the Altima, and I love it so much!
It has a sunroof (which I open every chance I get).There’s a rear entertainment center. Which won’t do me much good when I’m driving by myself. But someone has already asked if they could watch dirty movies in the back. My answer was NO.
Not only does it have heated leather seats, it has air-conditioned leather seats! Who knew that you needed air-conditioned seats? I never knew it, but I totally need them!
The third row seat is actually quite roomy, and there is plenty of room for storage with the seats up.
And the third row seats fold flat (with just the push of a button!) for a ton of storage! The second row also folds flat, just in case you need to haul a boat. Or a house.
It has a trailer hitch, too, so that might be the better way to haul the boat. But it would fit inside!
Good bye, Chip… I will miss you. You have done well, and I will always remember you.
It will make me a little sad to sell you, but just a little.
