Saturday :start new car hunt/test drives scheduled it'll be an AWD wagon/suv style
Sunday : Easter mass , turkey dinner rather than traditional ham , connect with family

We ended up getting a Ford Edge AW a few weeks ago. It's actually way nicer than I ever expected them to be.

Nice! The Seaport is a nice area. When I used to work for Suffolk Construction I was a project manager on the Park Lane Seaport project (right across from Jimmy's Harborside, or where it used to be anyway). I used to love that area after work.

They looked pretty nice when we were in the market...only 3500 lb tow capacity though so we were concerned about towing a heavier pop-up camper with it. Good that it's working out for you.

Do they have the MyTouch system and if so how is that working out?

Yeah it has the my touch. It works well, they just did a system update to it and its now much quicker and a little more intuitive. A couple quirks but overall it works well. I never use the voice command features....

Edge is a nice vehicle Nick , We're looking at and really like a Toyota Venza XLE AWD leather heated seats , MR , auto lift tailgate and a whole buch of other nice goodies , but will also look at loaded, RAV 4 LTD AWD, Kia Sorrento and Hyundai Santa Fe AWDs , Also Outbacks and maybe that Honda Crossover or Crosstour AWD hatch altho the cubic storage capacity doesn't measure up to all the vehicles previously mentioned . Gotta have ROOOM for ski crap , golf crap and other crap :D:D and MUST HAVE heated leather seats ( My ass has been pampered by Saabs since the mid-80's so these are a MUST have
