Yes, having just driven 2500 miles in the Subaru WRX we came home to buy a “new” car. (Mike says we bought it because he didn’t want to change the oil in the Subaru.) Our new vehicle is a 2006 Dodge Magnum AWD with Hemi engine, fully loaded, 13,000 miles, metallic gray, gray leather interior. We bought it through Kendall Dodge. They gave us a decent trade on the Subaru. We pick up the Magnum on Thursday. Although space constraints in the WRX have not been a problem for us, we look forward to having the comfort and capacity of a larger car. You may know that Mike finds the seats in the Subaru very uncomfortable. We hope he will like the Magnum. It’s like trying shoes – difficult to judge when you first put them on. We expect the Magnum’s gas mileage to be about the same as the WRX, but the Magnum will use regular while the WRX takes premium.
It took a significant amount of town time for us to make this deal -- all morning.

Sometimes my parents are SO random! Picture on Thursday? Room enough for dog in the back? I hope the leather works out for you--must be gentle when packing things. I like my leather seats except in the extreme COLD or the extreme HEAT.
Yes, picture on Thursday. Mike wanted me to wait with this blog until we had a picture but I decided to let you all know how we spent the time. The Magnum is basically a staion wagon, so yes, there's lots of room for Nellie. The back seat folds down and it sounds like we should be mindful to do that rather than placing boxes, etc., on the seats. It may seem "random" -- we've been thinking about it a long time. XO
