New Car...

I picked up the newest addition to our family tonight. It's a brand spankin' new Nissan Altima. (only 7 miles on the clock). It's Silver with Charcoal interior. It's just the standard model without the fancy options, but the list of standard equipment is quite lengthy.

I'd say that the coolest feature is the intelligent key. It's basically just a key fob. You leave it in your pocket (or purse). No need to take it out or push the buttons on it. It has a range of about 30 inches, and emits a signal to the car. You walk up to the car and push a little button on the door handle to unlock the doors and hop in. To start the car, just step on the the brake and push the button that is in place of where the key would go. Want the "key" in the "accessory" position to listen to the radio instead of starting the engine, simply push the button without stepping on the brake. Shelly is having a hard time with the no key deal, but I like it.

Getting used to the lower seating position vs the trucks we're used to is going to be the biggest adjustment.

I'll give a more thorough review in a couple of weeks.

Anyone want to buy my Tahoe? It has quite a few miles on it, but it is in excellent shape
