    Suburban or Town & Country? gas??

    Fisrt let me say we own a car dealership so I have driven many a vehicle. We have 4 kids all in booster seats. We drove a van at first, but switched to a suburban (it was also my dream vehicle). I have never looked back. I love the look of the new body style and the new interior. We have...

    Nintendo DS and FP Kid Tough DVD Player....questions from a Grandmother

    I would get the DS lite for the 5 year old. Also, I would not buy the FP Kid Tough DVD player at all. We bought 2 last year for Christmas and had to return them within a couple of days. They both had lines going across the picture and it would stop and restart with some dvd's. We ended up...

    OT - Anyone have a Dodge Journey??

    Not to butt in, but if you have a Trailblazer and love it, I would suggest a Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia or Saturn Outlook. The Journey is not going to have as much room as the Trailblazer does, but these others will and more. But this is coming from someone who drives a Suburban with 4 kids...

    Tried to buy a new Caravan

    This is not necessarily true. We own a car dealership and my husband came home the other night and said they had sold 10 cars that day. But they sold three cars for less than he had in them just to move them. If they sit on the lot too long they end up costing money.

    My little girl is going to be nameless!

    We adopted all four of our children from Guatemala, so we tried to incorporate part of their birthname with a given name. We have two girls and they are named: Molly Ann Gabriela Marisol We also had Olivia, Ava and Isabella on our list. But all were becoming too popular. We wanted...

    Awesome Service by Nintendo!!

    Three of my kids received Nintendo DS Lites for Christmas as well. One stopped powering on and we had it replaced within 3 days with advance replacement progam from Nintendo. Then shortly after we received it the hinge broke. They replaced that one as well no charge. Then another one of our...

    Portable dvd player that is good for kids...

    We bought two of the FP Kid Tough DVD players for Christmas. I had to take them back within the week. Both had issues playing and lines were running across the screen. I thought about exchanging them, but after reading many bad reviews I just returned them.

    How many kids do you have?

    We have 4, two boys and two girls. We get lots of comments, but I think it has more to do with their ages, 6,6,4 and 2. Also, we adopted all four from Guatemala, so that may have a little to do with it as well.

    Will GM or Chrysler going under affect you?

    We own a GM dealership, so yes! But actually we sell way more used cars than new. Also, of the new vehicles that are sold most are big SUVs and trucks. A little bit different from what you have been hearing about everyone wanting smaller cars.

    OT: Anyone ever stay at Dunes Village in Myrtle Beach?

    We just stayed there for fall break for the first time. We had never been to Myrtle Beach. We got a three bedroom condo for our family of six. It was very spacious and clean. The kids loved the indoor water park. It was by far our best beach vacation. The kids are already asking to go back.

    OT: What Do You Drive With 3 Car Seats?

    I forgot to mention that if you get a suburban with 2nd row buckets you can easily move around in it. On long trips I climb from the front to the back all the time. It is a lot roomier than a minivan. We used to own a minivan and actually traded it for a tahoe then a suburban for the extra...

    OT: What Do You Drive With 3 Car Seats?

    We also owned a Tahoe with 4 kids, but then moved to a Suburban and have never looked back. It by far has the most room behind the third row and is very comfortable for adults in each row. Just in case you have to sit in the back.

    Any great smaller SUVs than a Suburban?

    I am on my 6th Suburban and getting ready to purchase my 7th, so we love it. But I only have to fill up my gas tank twice a month, so we do not drive a lot. We actually thought about downsizing and drove a smaller suv, but it was too small. We have 4 kids in car seats and could not find room...

    Ford 500 - Keyless Entry question

    I don't own a 500, but owning a dealership I know that they can do this for you. You can get a remote and they can sync it to your car. They also should be able to reprogram your keypad. Now they may charge you for a new remote. But most used cars do not have both keys or both remotes. They...

    To Buy or Not Buy a Used Car

    My husband has been in the car business for years. He actually owns a dealership and he deals with customers every day because he runs the sales department. He always says that customers (not all) lie more than the salespeople. I guess it goes both ways. Oops I forgot to add my opinion on...

    What is manufactured in the US?

    Owning a GM dealership, we really understand the importance of buying American. Of all the foreign and American made cars I have owned over the years, nothing drives better than my Chevy Suburban! But since all four of our kids were made in Guatemala, I also try to buy items made in Guatemala...

    Naps for Toddlers in the parks

    Last time we went we had 4 little ones 5 and under. We thought that there was no way they would take a nap with everyone in the same room. Also by that time our two 5 year olds had stopped napping, but they napped at Disney. Like someone already said, we made it very dark and everyone would...

    Driving from Ohio.. need suggestions for FUN restaurants for kids!

    We live in Kentucky and always drive. We usually make a point to stop at a fast food place with a playground. With our four kids it works great. They wear themselves out and fall fast asleep.

    Should we take our twins?

    We have 4 kids 6 and under. For their birthdays they get to pick one thing to do with mom and dad alone. At first they felt a little bad about leaving their sibs at home, but now they enjoy the special day. I vote to go with older daughter alone.

    Those with FOUR + kids...

    My DH and I have 4 children 6 and under. We adopted all 4 from Guatemala, so it was no accident that we had 4. We would love to have more, but with my husbands job that is not likely. We own a car lot and he works 8am - 9pm everyday. So now that the older two are involved in activities it is...
