    I call my beloved car - George. I treat him as a family member. I say thank you to him for protecting me and would make him get excited everytime I bring him to a car detail or car wash. I handle George with love and care. If only I have a garage, I'd be the one to clean him. God knows how many times George saw me crying or teary eyed while driving. He also saw me at my happiest moment. There's a deep bond between me and my car.

    Hi Jen. Be careful with the reactive cruise control. If someone were to pull in front of you, the car will brake very suddenly and it can be quite startling.

    • @Lifeszebarbie

      My car brakes hard if someone slows down, even though I’m comfortable with the distance. It is startling.

    Hi Jen👋🏻. I’m so happy that you have found something that is bringing you so much joy!! I’ve been amazed by the adventures you have already made and look forward to the ones that are yet to come. I would just like to reiterate comments other subscribers have mentioned about Winnie’s safety while traveling in the car. Regardless of the distance you are traveling, pets (and anyone else) should have some type of safety restraint. God forbid an accident happens, you are secure but poor Winnie would be an object “in motion”. I don’t think I need to tell you what could happen 😢. We, your subscribers, love you and would hate to see anything unfortunate happen.

    Hi Jen, if you want to start modifying your 4Runner, the safest place to start is the glove box and center console organizer. Also a wireless CarPlay is life changer. Here is your warning. The reason why I said “safest” is because it is an addiction. Bought my blue 4Runner, now it’s 2 inches taller, bead locks wheels, 33 tires, a Sherpa roof rack, hidden Bigfoot and 4Runner for fun. I only made the first payment. Congratulations on your 4Runner !

    & Lisa Johnsen: Best vehicle ever! In 2016 we went to the dealership to look at a Highlander, but my husband pointed out the 4Runner and it was love at first sight. Previously we had a Toyota Tacoma TRD that we loved, but felt like as we are getting older we needed something a bit more comfortable. The 4Runner is great for long trips, has plenty of room for us and the dogs (kids are grown). You will never regret this purchase and btw it is a joy to drive!

      I love how informative Jen is. She anticipates our questions and answers any questions she thinks we might have. Many of us are in the same season of life as her or watch her in preparation for her season of life and her information helps us decide if her selections are an appropriate choice for us and our family. Just keep Jenning Jen :) ❤️.

    As a high schooler, a friend died in a car accident not long before I was supposed to learn how to drive. It's not like I was at the accident, but it happened on my birthday weekend so I'll always remember. And then when I started learning to drive, I found that I was extremely nervous because the friend's death left a huge impression in my teenage mind. For a few years of driving I would get so anxious at times that I would just start crying at the wheel when I had a stressful lane change and I also would refuse to drive anywhere unfamiliar by myself. Other people had to make the drive with me at least a few times first. I would also grip the steering wheel so hard that my arms would go numb after awhile. Although I've mostly conquered the fear now, I've stayed a safe and cautious driver. I go about the same speed as you do. I feel awful when people on the road pressure me to go faster.

    @maryannemakes Год назад

    Adaptive cruise control is great - helps to keep the car within the speed limit and also is much safer with keeping distance between cars…. Something most people dont do on the road. At least not in the UK here. Tailgating is very dangerous. Great vid, thanks Jen!!

  • @donnapanzardo3058
    @donnapanzardo3058 2 года назад

    I find that when I go to the shore I was watching when I'm going down I'm going a touch slower than speed limit I feel like I have more control with the the crazy drivers (going in and out) going down. I kept watch on my way home earlier in the week I was going speed limit not as many cars and I probably could have gone over if I wasn't watching. More unmarked cars because the NJ parkway this year has become worst than ever before with the amount of accidents. I'm glad you are enjoying your new car hope it works out well for all the future trips you hope to take I look forward to seeing your videos.

    It’s so great to see you so smiling again. 💃 You make the best videos when you’re happy. 😀 I love your new ride, she looks so fun. Looking forward to seeing what you name her. It took me a long time to figure out what to name my van but I kept saying she was a beauty so it hit me that was her name Beauty. I have a Chrysler Pacifica Limited like yours only white and it has that radar distance feature to slow you down if you get too close to car ahead. Is it the same thing or different?

    Love the adaptive cruise control. We just bought the new Volkswagen id4 (electric) in February and it has the travel assist which scared me lol. I mean we were driving a 6 speed GTI before we went electric. We just tried it this weekend on our way home from camping and it’s so weird but so awesome! I just worry that the more features we get like this, the more reliant people will be on it.
    No need to rush on the name. All in due time 😊
    Can’t wait to see how your adventures go. You look so happy!

    you have the seat belt in the lower position, raise it up, the closer the neck it sits the safer it is, if
    you have it too low then the risk is that it slides off your shoulder during an accident, and then it
    can hurt you instead

    I definitely GET IT, Jen. There are all kinds of relationships. Having one with a car you love, enjoy, and depend upon, adds so much value to your life. My Toyota RAV 4 XLE allows me to relate to your excitement. Mine cme after six months of waiting for her due to the chip shortage. She was made in Canada. I wrote them a "thank you" note for doing such a good job. She is Ruby Red. When I look at yours, I can see some of the similarities. Enjoy it all. Bon Voyage over and over again. 🙂

    Serious question: with the speed of climate change happening, have you factored in the environmental impact of not only owning a second large vehicle but how much you’ll be driving it? Fossil fuels are a huge factor in climate change not to mention what off roading does to affect the environment. I myself am a life long hiker and camper and have backed off considerably on trips I have to travel far for because of this because I want to help protect the planet and not just use it since we are seeing in real time the serious ramifications of the modern human footprint on it.
