Dodge Caravan - SXT?

Good News! Last week our insurance company finally took care of the balance we owed on the totaled Van and we were able to look for something else :) It only took them 4 weeks! ugh.

Picture me (big girl) with a husband (skinny butt) , a six year old, a 16 month old, a stroller and no airconditioner in 95 degree humid Oklahoma weather for 4 weeks.. you may know yourself.. it's not a good or pleasant thing at all....

But it certainly makes you appreciate the good things when you have or finally get them.. Here is what we got, we fell in love with it online before we even drove it, so when we drove it, It got even better!!

Our other Van was a basic 2005 Dodge Caravan. The New one is a 2006 Caravan SXT. This means it comes with a few more perks and rides more like a cadillac!

Here she is....

With Keyless entry.. (a god send with a diaper bag on one shoulder a kid on one hip and arm loads of random crap. ( unless it's knitting, that's NOT-CRAP)


The storage in the upper part there is new, we didn't have that in the other van you can store sunglasses and what nots in there. Aso there is a guage (you can't see here) but it shows what direction your driving, the temp outside, and what kind of gas mileage your getting as well as the lenth of you trip! SO KEWL! It's fancy stuff to us simple folk...

The interior is a light beige and tan the other van was plain grey


Big perk we love is that the second row of seating is 2 bucket seats!!! WOOHOO! hee! The other van had a bench seat we weren't to crazy about. Also the back set is a split seat which means we can only take half of it out if we want to.

So pretty... I love her....

... and my husband still loves me :)

Oh beautiful van!!! We got a new one (to us) but it's only a 2001. Still better than my old 1993 that I drove to 219,000 miles LOL
The car Jake drives doesn't have a/c? My gosh I feel for ya!!! LOL Chris' car doesn't have a/c and I hope I never have to be in it(I TOLD him to not get black!!!)

What a nice van! I like it that it figures the gas mileage for you. I had a Caravan many years ago and loved it. Never had any trouble with it. And keyless entry is the best invention for moms! Congratulations!

Hugs!
