She sure does Tim. We do a lot more traveling these days, and that car is the sweetest ride for us more "mature" folks. As for the Rodeo; I loved that old truck, but it just wasn't happening anymore. Rusted cross-members, frames, failing/corroded brake lines, and a real nasty #2 cylinder hydraulic lifter noise; -- the writing was on the wall. It wasn't worth restoring or refurbishing, and just parking it waiting for another Rodeo to come up for sale and then building one good truck out of two was not in my play book. In the end, the Caddy is just such a better suited car at this point in our lives.

Traded for a few hundred $$ toward the Caddy -- It's probably been parted out by now and on the used parts market.
