If you're talking about a C5 vette, I'd make the Jeep sleep outside to make room for the car.

I see you ordered the 3D carbon kit and have other goodies planned, I wouldn't have been able to keep up anyways.

That was the plan.

I actually just recently sold my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee TSI, and I have to say I am going to miss that car. You don't realize how much value a Jeep has until you actually own one. I've hauled so much crap in that Jeep and it's torn through so much snow without hassle. It even shows personality--mine refused to move any faster than 15 mph when she was cold. But once that tranny warmed up she was just fine. And the Jeep make some of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat on. And I've never been more impressed with the strength of the paint on the Jeep--the only place it has rust was on the inside of the hatch.

I am pretty much compromising for a fuel economy with this new car, I couldn't afford the Jeep on such a tight budget. She was a hog 15mpg.

With mine being new it doesn't have that "character" yet, but given time it will. I love that I can fold the rear seats down and the passenger seat for a completely flat huge enclosed area to haul stuff, and owning a house you run into that more often than you'd like. If snow is ever an issue now I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be on the roads. The FDII has full underbody skid plates and a 19:1 low range crawl ratio. I've had it for a few weeks now and I still get a big smile on my face when I drive it.

Although the Jeep doesn't get the looks the Fiesta got, but I think that has more to do with color than the vehicle itself.

If you are getting more than one child then a Fiesta is no longer a good fit. As far as the seat, I guess my 10 minute sit wouldn't have helped. The auto-might have, but I thought you were a hard core manual. Hope you enjoy your new ride.
