Hi. My name is Jen and I'm a Telluride-owner-in-wait-aholic. (You guys now say, "Hi Jen.")
I've been liking and posting on a few threads for a few months now, but I actually do like seeing people's stories when they do their introductions so I thought I'd actually do that, too.
I drive a 2007 Civic EX. I bought it outright (in 2010 or '11?) with the cash I had from privately selling my loaded 2005 Toyota Sienna. My kids were older and I could finally ditch the minivan, and the fact it was due for the timing belt and other expensive maintenance was incentive enough to make the change. Since then, I've been putting everyone first. Roxy -- the Civic -- is still going strong at 155k and she'll become my 17yr old daughter's soon. It's finally time for me to have a new car again.
I've been looking. I've been researching. For a long time. I wanted something for me. A little luxury. But also something big enough for my garden hauls when I visit Home Depot and Lowes, as well as having enough seating to tote my family and extended family (when they visit) to the beach. So, the Telluride is perfect. I can say that because I research the shit out of things and I was set on the Explorer (I loved the looks) until I was set on the Subaru Ascent (I loved the safety and the way it drove) and then the Telluride came out and I've never needed to look back.
I finally put the deposit down on her in March. Debt was being paid down, my recent wedding was paid off, and everything except for Covid was looking good. But hey, I found you good people and more information than I ever could have imagined. And now I wait. She'll (now) be a '21 SX-P/T in Black Copper w/Dune interior and she will be magnificent!
I appreciate all the time and effort everyone puts into this forum. Lots of good people and info and it makes passing the months waiting much more enjoyable.
