BEST SUV IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SUV'S (1999)

Two tone black/gold. tan leather seats, I mean it is a fully loaded - Eddie Baur explorer. I have owned it since day one. I have it still to this day!!!!! It has been so good to me and my daughter. It was used in a movie (mexican banditos with machine guns, shooting at the border patrol)! We drove it EVERYWHERE in the USA, I am talking DISTANCES, from Los Angeles, to Las Vegas, to Nashville, Florida, to El Paso, to California AGAIN! I lived in the Canyons and we drove it to Malibu beach regularly. I will NEVER PART WITH IT! Someone Uber Driver not paying attention t-boned me yesterday on the drivers side passenger door behind driver seat. It stood up to it is driveable and only has side door damage and body above rear tire. I am going to have to fight the other guy's insurance company not to total my vehicle out. I was restoring it little by little. It has been our good luck vehicle! I haven't had a car payment in 25 years. Jessie Monster
