A good two months

A few months ago, we swapped out our Expedition for a 2009 Suburban. Manina searched KSL Classifieds and found a super-clean, extremely well taken care of Suburban. It was used solely as a road trip car by the original owner, had low, freeway-only miles on it, and could easily be mistaken for a new car. It was spotless.

After we bought it, Manina wanted to keep the Suburban in great condition. She bought custom floor mats for the trunk, washed it regularly, and really kept it clean. She totally babied it. Even on our Washington road trip she had the kids clean it out at every pit stop.

Then, yesterday, this happened:

It was a typical silly accident: Manina was backing out of a parking space, being very careful not to hit the other car on the driver’s side, all while a mean and nasty stationary pole was lurking on the passenger’s side. Crash. Our nice, clean, could-be-mistaken-for-brand-new Suburban now doesn’t look so new. It was a good two months…
