From Madam Blueberry to Cinderella

For the first time since my turbo-charged Nissan 200SX that could talk, I'm driving a Japanese car. Previously we've bought American, either Chevy or Ford. We wanted to continue, but neither offered a vehicle that can seat all of us at a price we can afford or a size our garage can accommodate. Originally we'd selected the Chevy Tahoe, but when we went to see the version that seats eight it had no cargo room and no leg room for the final row of seats. We've been driving two vehicles whenever we needed to go somewhere as a family, and the two tanks of gas at this time in history is awful.
We were very frustrated and just googled "seats eight." The Honda Odyssey was the best for us, but it has been hard to think of buying a foreign car. Owning the car is much easier. We took it out for a Sunday drive yesterday, and we all fell in love with our "Cinderella." She has great features including leather seats that have been covered with some kind of super stain resistance. It was nice to ride in the passenger seat and to chat as the countryside rolled by.
We will miss our "Madame Blueberry" but at least we know she is going to a good home. My sister-in-law and her husband have recently blended their families and they need a vehicle that seats all six of them. I hope they love her as much as we have.
