How is this a process that last potentially 18 months?
We are test driving cars to see what we like so we can monitor the pre-owned market and pounce when necessary.
we recently acquired a 2015 Chrysler Town & Country. It came with a dvd player for the rear passengers, which keeps the kids nice and sedate. They've been watching the Mario movie over and over. Highly recommend.
We have a 2012 T&C. Has just under 300,000 miles on it. It’s a workhorse. I call it “The Tank.” Many movies have been watched on that dvd player.
Nice. Only 152,000 currently on ours. Hope to get that many more out of it. Very satisfying vehicle. Drives great. Will let you know when we name it.

I thought this commercial was a joke but the Bug-A-Salt is an actual product. A gun that shoots salt at bugs. I hope I get one for my birthday.

No I asked her to so I could see how hard of a shot it was.
