Personal Narrative-The Equinox And A Mountaineer

A few years ago I found myself in the market for a new vehicle when the one I had drowned. I had two children living at home and one on the way. I knew I would need a larger vehicle to accommodate a family of what would be five. I went to the auto dealer and narrowed it down to two vehicle. An Equinox and a Mountaineer. Then I made a pros and cons list. This was a very stressful time. It was a considerably large purchase that I wanted to make sure was going to be everything I needed at the time. The Equinox was large enough for all five of us at the time; however it was not big enough to keep the girls from picking on each other. Nor was it large enough to haul anything. The price was right and I liked the way it looked. Great on gas and easy to drive.
Then I listed for the Mountaineer.
This was a larger vehicle with a third row for separating the kids. It seats seven comfortably. Leather seats with a sliding sunroof and heated seats, it checked all the right boxes. That great feeling turned to anxiety when I started listing the cons. Terrible on gas, huge tires that could get expensive to replace. A bigger vehicle means more to clean up after the kids. The cost of insurance was higher than the Equinox. And it’s a Ford! I haven’t had much luck with Fords in the past. The end result of the conflict was me purchasing the Mountaineer. I absolutely love it. I know it was the right choice because I could never see myself in a smaller vehicle now. Since purchasing my older daughter went to live with her dad and I am living with my two little ones which means it is just three of us with lots of room for packing things to go to the beach and enjoy the
summer.
