Did you consider mid size SUV like the Pathfinder @Fueco?

The new one is pretty nice and I’m considering adding one vs the Durango Hellcat which is omfgexpensive

If I recall, it needed a lot of seats for 4 kids plus and adult in the back.

That plus luggage space. We barely got everything in for the airport run this morning. Fortunately, the stroller won’t be inside the car most of the time.

Finally got my Mini Cooper back yesterday after getting hit the Sunday after Thanksgiving. While driving home from the collision center I noticed my car was noticeably squeaking and losing traction while accelerating and turning. I then got a "Chassis stabilization" warning yesterday and a "Driving stabilization initiated" this morning. Looks like my car is going back to the shop.

My car. BMW M5. Buying out the lease at the end of the year. I’m a big fan.

I half expected to meat one of you here. To keep the post thread related, this a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid.

Yep! They changed their mind right before Xmas which made the wait longer waiting for parts.

Did you have to slum it in your [non wing-ed peak] GTS for the last 5 months?

Only for a couple of weeks and after that I got a rental car. I drove that for about 3 months. Total rental car charge fees were just under $3200.

Update on my Mini. Originally the body shop was going to do rear suspension work but the insurance adjuster denied the work so looks like they're going to re-evaluate that and fix my car. Now I'm back in another rental car.

Yikes, maybe they should’ve just totaled it. Especially in hindsight now that they had to pay you $3200 in rental car fees

$3200 in rental fees and whatever my new rental car fees are going to be on top of the $12600 they paid in repairs for this accident.

I got in a previous accident a few months after I got the car when a guy ran a stop sign at an intersection. The Mini probably had over $20k in repair work done over it's life.
