Life lesson...next road trip take the Tahoe

[Bam]

So my sister in law scored a few extra tickets to the Red Sox/Rangers game in Arlington on Saturday. It was our 17th Wedding anniversary, so we packed up & headed to the game (My wife, my 5 yr old son, and me).

Decided to take the wife's Grand Cherokee instead of the 'Hoe to save a few $ in gas. Guess the Tahoe has spoiled me, because I felt crowded the whole ride...then about 1/2 way there I realized that we need to get her A/C serviced. Air was blowing semi-cool, not cold. This isn't something you want to find out when its 104 degrees outside.

I also found out I'm more comfortable weaving in & out of traffic when I have my Li'l one safely buckled into the middle of the rear seat in the Tahoe instead of the rear passenger side of the Cherokee.

Don't get me wrong, we still had a great weekend...I'm not complaining...just sharing.

We had a great time, especially since Boston won....but next road trip I'm definitely taking the Tahoe. That is what I bought it for. The added comfort/feeling of safety is worth the extra few bucks in gas. Plus we could have piled everyone going with us into one ride instead of taking two to the game.

I keep trying to convince my wife that when we decide to trade the Jeep in we should get her a Tahoe or an Esky, but she insists she wants another Cherokee...

Off Topic... Red Sox...


Go Yankees!

LOL...Too funny!!! As you can see from my Avatar I am a Mets fan. Which means by default I hate the Yankees...So since I hate the Yankee's I have to like the Red Sox..... See how that works?

All kidding aside...bottom line I am a baseball fan. Even though I will never root for them, I have to admit I always enjoy watching a Yankees game.

I`m a little confused, You have a mets avatar but you`re a red sox fan?

The two just don`t mix.

EDIT, saw your last post too late. now i understand.

EDIT, saw your last post too late. now i understand.

Trust me...I would much rather be at the Mets/Phillies game I'm watching on ESPN right now...we just don't get much NL love here in this part of Texas. So I do what I have to do to enjoy a live game.

I'm not a Rangers fan at all, but I think I could root for them if I was in Arlington watching them play the Yankees.....

....anyway mods...sorry for drifting this so far off topic....

I have a Tahoe and a Grand Cherokee also. I love my Tahoe. But I also REALLY love my GC. Verrrrry trustworthy and responsive. Much more capable than our Tahoe. BUT, if we were going on a trip, I'd like to be in the Tahoe.

why do you need a Tahoe AND an Esky (or two Tahoes)?

 

[Bam]

I really don't, & we probably won't get rid of the Jeep for a while (because like you said...trustworthy & responsive). It's just a conversation the wife & I seem to have all the time. Probably won't happen since she isn't really comfortable in the Tahoe...says it's too big. We also know in a few years after I retire from the military that we will be settling down in the Adirondacks. The winters there are making me consider replacing her 2wd with a 4wd or Awd before we do.

I know...it is some kind of blasphemy having a 2wd Jeep...but she fell in love with it, so it was her Mother's day present years ago when we realized the Grand Am and my Nissan D21 wasn't cutting it to tote our young'in around. The Jeep has treated us well.

I have a Suburban and the wife has an Altima. We save a ton of gas by taking the Altima, but to me the extra room and creature comforts of my Burban is worth the extra gas money to me. I hate taking the Altima on roadtrips!

I was just messin around. haha. Im a Yankee fan!... would you expect anything less?! Im a huge baseball fan. The rivalry is what keeps baseball interesting. Kinda funny that i'm from Seattle but a Yankee fan... Since the Mariners are doing sooo amazing this year!

...And that is how I took it...That's half the fun of Baseball (or any sport for that matter)..The trash talkin'.
