Same for me….my round trip with the two littles is 34 miles daily. A bench would be perfect. But suv kit and open air would be fun 4 months per year.
I buy 1-2 vehicles every year (I have 6 drivers), and I don't test drive any of them. They arrive at my house and I do a "confirmation drive" and that's that.
I don't miss the nonsense at the stealerships. In fact, the last 2 vehicles I never even spoke with the sales folks on the phone...
God bless you. I'm always envious of riders....seems like great fun.
I wish I didn't live amongst the gigantic-vehicles-waiting-to-squash-lesser-vehicles. My 20 year old daughter was in a terrible wreck in her VW Bug on her 16th birthday (8 hours after getting her license!). It wasn't built...
Nice. I was half considering it, too. Would be a gem for a new driver, but I just don't trust all of the locals in huge vehicles not to squash it in their haste.
East Texas is a big ol' place, as I remember (I used to live in DFW and drove across I20 to ATL regularly). So, shipping is a necessity for all kinds of things.
