Introducing Jeep v2… (Diesel!)

The universe lined up the perfect Jeep for us – right when and where we needed it. Who am I to say no?

Introducing our new 2006 Diesel Jeep Liberty CRD, Jeep v2 (VeeTwo?):

We spent a long sweaty day in the hot Texas sun yesterday moving EVERYTHING from Jeep v1 to v2. We had to move the paramotor, the roof rack, the bikes, luggage, tools, a lap desk, and much more…. Amazingly – one of the workers at the dealership just happened to have EXACTLY the bike rack we had been contemplating buying. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will work with our Tab trailer when we go pick her up today. He saw us struggling to load the bikes on the roof, and walked over saying “I think I may have something here that might help…” Wow – what are the odds! (We hadn’t been able to find any bike stores in FL that carried the Thule SpareMe, and yet this random Jeep dealership in Texas just happens to have a used one sitting in the garage…)

We wanted our first tank in our new Jeep Liberty CRD to be Biodiesel. This Shell station was listed as offering B20. I get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that I can burn veggie-derived oil in my new Jeep. I also get a warm sunny feeling from our sweet new sunroof!

The overall buying experience was fabulous – Mark Nix, Jerome, and everyone else at Benny Boyd Bastrop really showed us how great a car dealership can be. They even took a personal check – so we didn’t have to scramble getting a money order. Nice!

Now that we are fully moved in to v2, it is time to go pick up the Tab (she spent the week getting her roof resealed) and get back on the road. Westward ho!
