T-Minus 3 Days and Counting

Friday is the big day around here. Yep, the big, sad day. We have to give our cars back on Friday. Wah.

In all honesty? I’m not going to miss the wrap on the car. I will enjoy being able to sneak out for my Coke Zero fix incognito again. Yes ma’am, I will. But I will miss the 2010 Chevy Traverse.

Here’s my Top 10 list of reasons why I’m going to miss the 2010 Chevy Traverse:

10: The cup holders are stable. There is no chance that I can pull it out and spill my Coke Zero all over the radio dials and/or the floor mats. Ahem.

9: Opening the door to the gas cap is idiot proof. I’m the idiot who proved it.

8: This car holds a lot of stuff. And I do mean a lot.

7: I love driving the Traverse. I really do. It doesn’t feel like I’m navigating a school bus and I really appreciate that.

6: The back-up camera is super nice, as are the warning lights and beeps that appear when you get too close to the trees that line your driveway. Not that I’ve experienced either the lights or the beeps because I’ve gotten too close to the trees that line my driveway or anything… (Who was the genius who lined our driveway with trees anyway?)

5: The sound system in this ride is super fantastic. It’s better than what we’ve got inside our house. Which may or may not be the reason my family finds me hiding out in the car from time to time.

4: The car seats 8. 8 people. 8 regular sized people wearing regular sized seat belts. It seats 8 regular sized people comfortably. I like that. I will miss that.

3: There are two DVD screens in this car. My kids are going to miss those very much.

2: Believe it or not, I’m going to miss OnStar. Because sometimes even a gal with a Google map gets lost. Okay, it’s happened more than sometimes.

1: On Friday, I go back to my very thoroughly “mommed” ride. Note to self: grab the Lysol.
