For the past week before my trip (just for fun) I started doing some research on the next vehicle I want. Nissan Armada was on the top of my list. When we picked up our rental vehicle I got our scheduled car switched to an Armada. I got a 5 day test drive and LOVE it!! Hopefully it will be joining the Bangert family soon! ;)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVflKBHidL017CIMlHph1lf4JDfb4w9jVUC6Ex9iOqrNpIi8kQXML9SoL93S3MzplxKwdhFhxXEdej1ySynwazrWJnY6BZSX8f6K3aYniKXiMfMEkk5Zfn2_bn4FPteUxQLUICd4MiC1LI/s1600-h/DSC07444%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07444" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgotMWHofR-06-CfZnlxKeXgpxJ9_Cp29nMq6uNY8xl0-GcKQ_0AgVY-hdCxHF3qhHInY718QfnYl0doD1WJ5n7fwdgDOhb3evjHDaRRa2na6UhvYjEw07RCu6v-ptEcZHG-cLpFzbFzkqa/?imgmax=800" style="border-top-width: 0px;
