Well the time has come for us to give back the winning Mini Van. It was a sad day. The van has worked out so nice for us. We will miss the automatic opening doors, the built in dvd player and all the extra space. The van took us many places, here and there. We even traveled across seas to foreign territory together. We counted on the van to take us back and forth to Idaho on several occassions. We enjoyed traveling with company in the comfort of her 7 seats. She was a trusty ole van.
We only had to put it in the shop 4 times while we had her in our 1 year. But we knew the day would come when we would have to say our goodbyes. We asked about keeping her, but the dealer was insistant on getting her back. The price to keep her was beyond our limits. So it just wasn't meant to be. We parted ways but not without a fight. Upon preparing to leave behind the keys for good the dealer decided that he wanted to charge us $150 cleaning fee. I don't think so. So upon another trip to Woodburn we took her to Purdy's car wash where she was cleaned and dried for the grand price of $1. The dealer was rude to us when returning her because we wouldn't buy another vehicle from them. But there was no clause in the lease saying that upon return we had to buy a vehicle. So we handed over the keys for good and left her behind. There is no doubt that she will make another family very happy. And for us, we are back to a cramped up Jeep. But at least when the baby cries he is close enough to reach back and put the pacifier back in his mouth. And when Keegan gets mad and throws his juice at you, it really hits you.
But we will find joy in our Jeep...........So long Ole Blue. We thank you for your 1 year of free service.
