the journey is over

We have our selves a new vehicle to call our very own....she's a beaut all right. Words that have been used to describe her so far are "peppy" ,"more vroom" & my personal fave "you look good in it"


It was long and some times stressful journey but we are happy with the out come so far. We just brought her home tonight!


There are a few quirks right off the jump for me that may seem a bit trivial to some but stand out-right to me as small hurdles to get over.

The elbow rest. It just doesn't feel right. I had no idea I rested my elbows so much while I drive. Is this something I have always done or have just grown accustom to in my beloved Blazer after all these years together? This newby is lacking the elbow comfort I so apparently enjoy.
I'll get used to it.

The seats. The bottom part where your..er..bottom goes, it doesn't seem long enough. Not quite. It's like I am suddenly a gangly legged giant.
I'll get used to it.

The passenger seat. When you are sitting it you are the shrunken head beside the gangly legged giant. It seems a bit low compared to the driver with only two adjustments compared to the 10 point the driver has.
We'll get used to it.


Seems like a lot of 'getting used to it' for something we just signed our life away for....well there are definitely positives too.
Of course there are or it wouldn't be in the garage right now while the poor Blazer gets kicked to the frigid out doors. I wonder if the Blazer is sad? No matter! We have a kick butt new vehicle that has some get up and go, lives life in All Wheel Drive and is going to take us places baby!! oh yeah...we are going places!!


Welcome home Subey! (working on the name)
I do feel a little bad for the Blazer though. It just got kicked to the curb. It has always been a garage truck and she and I...well, we're tight. We had some good times. She is like an old glove with a hole in the thumb. I'm glad we're still keeping her.

Pictures to follow when time allows and the sun shines down. Don't forget to wipe your feet first.

  3. Congrats on the addition to your family! Kurt has been talking about how we need to get a Subaru now that we live in a city with a lot of hills. You'll have to keep us updated on the pros and cons!
