Ah! It's actually Day 3--yay, me! :D)
Today was a lazy day; we finally meandered out of the house at about 2 in the afternoon. Destination: car lots.
We ended up taking the Ford Flex out for a test drive; it was a comfy ride, and it seemed like it could be a good fit for our family. We're getting kind of tired of our minivan status symbol, but we really aren't small enough to fit into the midsize-SUVs I've been looking at; this could strike the balance.
Another major bonus: the lives of others would be minimally endangered when I'm behind the wheel of it, as I can actually reach the gas/brake pedals and see over the dashboard--at the same time. (We four-and-a-half-footers take those kinds of things more seriously than you think.) As of now, though, you may want to continue to exercise extreme caution if you spot a red Nissan Quest with Hawaiian stickers all over the back window; I'm still driving it. You may not be able to see me; that just means I'm down on the floorboard, trying to reach the brake pedal.
Happy Monday!

After reading your post, I had to look up the Ford Flex...as I'd never heard of it! We need a new vehicle, too, so we really need to get going and start test driving, rather than just looking!:)
Do Re' -
You ALWAYS make me laugh!
We had a stick-on-the-column van when I was a teenager which had a horrific clutch. The shift point of the clutch was about an inch below the floor. (OK I am exaggerating, but not by much).
Anyway, I would pull the seat as far forward as I could, sit as far forward in the seat as I could and still be buckled in, and try to drive that van. I cannot tell you how many times I ground those gears or froze those gears because I was just TOO SHORT to reach that shift point on the clutch. I cannot say that I miss that van.
Good luck locating that brake pedal dear friend!

I laughed so hard, I snorted. And I DON'T snort. The visual was very enlightening!
