So, yesterday was spend driving two hours (there was HORRIBLE traffic...would've only taken about a half-hour otherwise) to test drive and possibly buy a 1997 Toyota 4Runner that we'd seen advertised online. I called ahead of time, gave the guy our number (including my husband's cell number), and he said he would let us know if the vehicle was bought before we got there (I'd also told him how far we were coming to look at it).
We had to go to the DMV to renew my license, so we got there at about 10am, and it was handled by I believe 11:30am. We then met our friends that were going with, and went on our drive to the dealership. We were met with traffic on EVERY freeway we tried to get on, and finally arrived there at about 2pm.
By the time we'd gotten on the road, the guy had called to let us know that someone had taken the vehicle out on a test drive...and by the time we'd arrived, the vehicle had been sold (but we'd not been called and informed of it).
While it was bad business practice to not call us, I thought we should give the 99 on the lot a chance, so we did. It had several obvious problems, so we decided...nah!
So, we took the drive over to another (larger, more professional) place, and met with the helpful team there, and they worked with us to finance a MUCH BETTER vehicle.
So, without further ado...I MUST share with you guys our beautiful new 2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5:
Look at that LEG ROOM!!
I thought this was pretty cool...

Moonroff (because it has a cover):
Two visors on each side

Isn't she (my new SUV) pretty??? I just have to think of a name for her. So, if you guys have any name suggestions, PLEASE let me know! She's champagne colored, so we'd been thinking a champagne brand name...but we're not sure other than that.
We're SO happy...we'd had a 96 Saturn SC2 for about four years, which meant we had NO leg room for that amount of time. I can't even begin to describe how happy we are with this beautiful vehicle.
Hugs to all!
