Hahaha!...okay. I know this is
NOT the vehicle picture you've been waiting for. But I did want to show off the really cool car tag I got for my birthday!
And here it is...the new van! (Well, new to us!)
A "bench" seat of sorts. I specifically like this because the seats fold down, making it easier (I hope!) to store luggage and such when traveling. And while it's a very tight squeeze, you can fit three adults here.
And trunk space!!! The spare tire is hidden! Whoohoooooo! (Can you tell that's been a problem in the past?)
One of the many delays in the new vehicle...the turn signal controls. For the first time ever, these are not controlled by his shoulder, but are now controlled by the elbow and is actually a toggle switch as opposed to a bump pad (for lack of a better word).
The lock controls on the tie downs are different in this vehicle in that they are somehow connected to the door locks. For the longest kind of time they wouldn't release until the van was unlocked. We think that's finally adjusted correctly.
And the lock down box is the same, just cleaner! :)
ahhh...a CD player AND a mp3 jack AND Satellite radio! All are firsts for us! Also new to us but still not quite as exciting (yet) is the video backup camera.
And my personal favorite...twice the leg room! Trips will be MUCH nicer now!
And a side door for people who are riding in the back. They don't have to wait on the lift to get in and out!
There's a few other new/different features for us, and some things we're still trying to work out (and some things we've already worked out...thanks for the seat belt help, Rich!). Sadly, one thing may require sending the van back to Chrysler. Since it's still under warranty, we think it makes sense to get those things squared away immediately (like the transmission gear not always shifting!).
It took a few months longer than we anticipated, but it's been worth the wait!
