You just know it's a good car.
When we first got together, Bob got a Scion tc. He LOVED that thing. It was a really great car and boy was the price right. It had a Toyota Camry engine {one of the reasons he bought it!} was super sporty and, of course, he just had to get a stick shift. At the time, I didn't know how to drive a stick, so I was a little sad that I couldn't ever take it for a spin. But just riding in it, it was so nice.
Shortly after, I got my brand new Toyota Camry SE. Yes, it had to be the SE {Sports Edition} with the body kit, spoiler and sun roof. I loved that car. I was pregnant with Carter at the time and I knew it would be a very safe and reliable car to drive around our brand new baby. =) Once Carter finally arrived, Bob quickly realized this his sporty little two-door Scion just wasn't going to cut it anymore. It was time to grow up and grow up he did...
He bought a Tundra.
Bob had that Tundra for about 5 years, I think, and he totally would have kept it longer had we not gotten pregnant with baby #3. The Tundra, even with it's roomy back seat that easily fit 2 car seats, would never fit a 3rd. The truck itself was awesome and in that 5 years, we never had a single problem with it. Not one. We even drove it all the way down to OBX for family vacation 1 year and it was so comfy and easily fit all of our stuff for a week at the beach. We were so sad to trade it in, but with #3 on the way, we needed something with 3 rows. {All these babies!}
So there you have it... just a little background on the cars between us. Or should I say? The Toyota's between us!

DH has a Tundra and adores it. So do I!
LOVE the design by the way!
Ok, Jen. I have a question for ya! You guys clearly like Toyotas. And I know you have an awesome GMC Acadia. We are in the market to trade my tiny 2006 Chevy Malibu in for a family SUV with decent gas mileage. I have two kiddos: one in a car seat and one in a booster seat. I am trying to decide between a Toyota Highlander and the GMC Acadia. I know the size of the Acadia is a little larger. This next car has to last me a LONG time! Any advice or opinions on what you would pick? I have only owned Chevy's (4 in fact) and one Pontiac (that I hated!) TIA!!!
@Nicole- This is a hard one! We looked at both the Highlander and the Acadia and it was such a tough decision! We went with the Acadia b/c we liked the design of it better and the fact that it was a little bigger. It also had the 2nd row bucket seats that SOLD me.
Obviously I love Toyota's and I knew that we'd be happy with the Highlander, but we went with the GMC. I have a few friends that have it as well and they're recommendations pushed us over the edge. We do LOVE IT. We plant o keep it until it dies, so I hope it lasts a loooooong time.
Good luck deciding!!
Thank you for replying with such great points. Glad to know you really like your Acadia. It is quite a bit roomier!
