Dad’s New Commander Rocks

Tonight afforded me the opportunity of sitting in the driver’s seat of Dad’s spanking new Jeep Commander. Like most Americans, Dad firmly believes that bigger is better. He traded in the Grand Cherokee for this 7-seater SUV. The 65th anniversary edition features chrome plates on the sides and skylights even in the backseats.
My favorite feature in this car however, is the safety features that start with yellow warning lights when you are close to hitting something in reverse. If that were not enough, when you get closer to hitting mentioned object, the stereosystem (which also rocks) mutes and the warning lights turn red. Not that I am bragging or anything… but with the number of said accidents of which I have been a part, this may be a good feature for me. (Knock on wood, but it has been over eight months since my last accident and that one did not even have a claim associated with it!)

But the real question is: “Does it apply the brakes steadily as you are approaching cars stopped in front of you?”. Don’t count your insurance premium savings yet…
