From Suburban to Cross Over: Anyone else making the conversion?

Even though the price per gallon is creeping up to 2.89, I don't flinch as much as I used to when I have to fill up my gas tank. Why?

I did it, I couldn't take it anymore! I sold my Suburban. This new desire hit me one day and that desire was Cross Over. Yes, I've converted from the gas guzzler with a 40 gallon tank to the Ford Freestyle. I can still carpool with the same amount of kids and with a built in DVD player, long trips are becoming peaceful.

I may miss my four wheel drive come winter, but I managed for years with front wheel drive, and I will again.

There is one thing I didn't take into consideration when I went with my gut instinct. That would be a yellow lab named Jessie. With the kids and husband, I'm not sure how the dog will fit in the car on the way to grandmas for Thanksgiving. My husband said he can stay home!
