I love my 4Runner

I love my car. Have I said that before? I remember when I first started looking for the perfect used SUV years ago. It had to be green, it had to be 4-wheel drive, it had to be a Toyota. Blah blah blah. I finally found it after a year and got it. I was so proud of myself.

So now, I've been driving my 98 4Runner for almost 9 years now. Wow! It will be 11 next year and I bought it in 2000. It is in fantastic condition (although dirty) and runs well. I can't complain.

Except I will. My little SUV was fine until our family expanded a year ago. And quite frankly it probably would have been fine still except I am having a lot of trouble getting Reagan into her carseat. It really tweaks my wrist. I think I may start asking to look at a new car soon.

Jim and I looked hard a year ago - we test drove every SUV out there. We looked at American cars and every foreign car we could find. We settled on the Toyota Highlander, but then decided to just stay with our paid off cars and wait. Glad we did, I was home 8 months with Reagan and a new car payment would have been stressful.

Hmmm. What to do?
