Goodbye Montero..... Hello Suburban

Here is the woman driving away my Montero Sport of 5 years (more like 7 years for Dave)




Here is the picture of my new (new to me anyway) Suburban. It's by no means a fancy vehicle, but it is decked out with a lot of upgrades that we'll enjoy including: heated seats and a DVD player amongst others. And it runs on Compressed Natural Gas, which means I can drive around at the current cost of $0.85 a gallon instead of $3.85 for gasoline. That will be nice!


It was sad to sell my Montero, but it just wouldn't fit four kids...........;)

Is it possible to purchase the compressed natural gas feature as an after-market addition? We have an older Suburban that we only drive for vacation (it's located at our vacation home). Our other car gets 47 mpg - it's always a shock to put fuel in the Suburban, or the "beast" as we call it.

Yes you can, but it is very expensive. My dad just got a quote and it was around $14,000 to install. So you'd probably want to purchase a suburban with it already in or do it on a newer vehicle to make it worth it.

Um...was that an announcement??? or am I missing something... 4 kids???? :) Hm....But awesome about the natural gas feature! I could for sure get on board with that!!!! :) YAY for new cars! :)

Erica said...

Hmm, I was wondering if that was too subtle. Nothing too subtle for the quick wits of a fellow Aggie, eh Brooke? Phew, I can always count on you! Thanks.

To those slightly slower than Brooke, yes it is an announcement.
