I was lucky enough to scam my way be asked to join some fellow Aiming Lowers Heather, Anissa & Janet in a GM Yukon Denali Hybrid for a road trip from Atlanta to Asheville for the Type A Mom Conference in September.
It was most awesome.
Totes* awesomesauce.
Even though I couldn’t ever figure out how to gracefully exit the car from the backseat, I could actually ride in the back without getting sick. Either this car has magic Anti-Car-Sickness (ACS) air or the ride is so smooth that my tummy couldn’t tell the back seat from the front seat. Take your pick. Other than the magic ACS air, my favorite feature of the car (even though I didn’t have the proper government clearance to actually drive the car) is the Anti-Hit-a-Kid rear-view back-up cam. It’s too bad that some stranger in the hotel parking lot was watching me, or you would have seen my dancing in the rear-view back-up cam. Sorry, sucka.
The car is big, fancy, high off the ground, has an awesome camera built in to the back, and satellite radio. All the necessities for a totes* awesomesauce road trip.
Behold, the video that proves I can not sing, not car dance, and don’t know every word to Pour Some Sugar on Me.

“The Aiming Low ladies hit the road in an incredible GM Yukon Denali Hybrid for 5 days to North Carolina…um…we edited out the part on the golf course with the Denali. ‘Nuff said.”
*I flippin HATE the non-word “totes” but for some twisted reason, it kinda fits here.

Nope, “totes” never fits.
I am kinda glad you weren’t driving during the video making this time. Just makes me nervous.

Looks like an awesome time!
You guys had waaaaaaaaay too much fun. I’m jealous! That car was too cool.
I’m jealous because I don’t have a car to drive. On top of that I don’t really know how to drive a car.

Thats funny you must be an 80′s person too. I can’t remember who sang it… guns n roses maybe, but I can remember the words also.

Glad to hear the trip went well. I’m trying to remember which one hit wonder band sang that one. Anyway, appreciate the vehicle comments as I’ve always told friends my perfect vehicle is a road trip vehicle. Thanks for posting.
