My dad recently purchased a new Outback and because he is super awesome, he gave us his Jeep Cherokee so we finally have a vehicle big enough to cart around the kids and the dogs. Given I drive a sedan and Ryan drives a 2WD, 2-door truck it's been damn near impossible to get the four of us, and our two dogs, anywhere together. That will no longer be an issue--yay!! The downside is that owning an SUV means it cost more to fill the thing up. I found out exactly how much today. My dad had warned me that the last time he had filled it up it set him back about $60, so while I wasn't completely shocked, it still hurt. lol For now I'm calling it "The Beast" and may end up driving it a bit less, even though I really enjoy being in a higher-up, bigger vehicle.
