bought a new SUV.

path to the dark side is complete!

just kidding. the gf bought one of these non-gas guzzling compact ones, so all you haters who despise SUVs for the typical reasons can step off!

the one exciting thing about the new ride is that we can actually see cars coming before they reach the intersection (people in our town have a habit of parking illegally - either double parking or parking too close to the intersection, so that they block the view of oncoming traffic), as we are positioned higher than sedans.
