mine will be replacing a 2002 Ford explorer.

I love the SUV, but am tired of the gas guzzling. I'll be holding onto it though because My dad wants it for carrying around lawn mowers and stuff like that.

the 2001 Jeep Cherokee is now perpetually parked in the garage. It's still registered as operational, but is now insured as a "reacreational vehicle"...saving mucho $$$ on the insurance premiums...

the smartmobile is my daily driver, unless i have to carry bags of cement, or sand or steer manure or compost for the garden...

I still take the Jeepmobile out for a spin every three or four weeks to the car wash to keep the dust off...and to keep the oil and gas pumps operating smoothly without gumming up.

I am thinking about getting a car cover for the Jeepster, and putting Stabil fuel stabilizer into the gastank...then I'll probably only uncover and drive it around semi-annually...

It replaced my 2005 Nissan Maxima. I do miss her but not her 24mpg and her knack for getting me traffic tickets.

The Smart now takes 90% of the in town duties. The Murano SUV sits and collects dust.

None. My smart car has joined a family; she has not displaced any of its members. And I will certainly never break up the family.

Mine replaced a Victory Vegas Jackpot. I miss the bike a little, but it just wasn't great for my commute.
