Appreciating your G

[ryno]

Nothing makes me appreciate my G more than driving a rental for almost a week. Rented a Pontiac Torrent for a week in Philthadelphia. Not a bad car but I really don't care for SUV's. Then got back in my G at the airport and it felt like a race car.

Last Wednesday until Sunday. Had a wedding in Center City but stayed in the burbs with the in-laws.

everything feels just connected in the G (except for the brakes!)

sometimes my friends borrow my vehicle...they are always in awe when the're finished

whenever I drive with the wifey down to San Diego we usually take her Toyota Sequoia. Everytime I drive my G on Monday I am so thankful that I have her, my G that is.

Same as the Chevy Equinox if that helps any.
