Mommy Driver in the Southeast Suburbs
Name: Shani Gilchrist
Our Family Car: 2003 Mercedes ML320
Number of Kids: 1 *Ages: 18 months
Geographic Region: Southeast
Thing I love most about my car: It’s a toss up between the unprecedented number of cup holders for a German car and the super-tight turn radius.
Thing I hate most about my car: No automatic lift gate
What we call the car: “The Truck” (boring, I know)
I don't leave home without: My iPod, BlackBerry, and my son’s “ball ball” (I think he’s destined to be a jock!)
Longest road trip with kids: 9 hours
Favorite driving music when alone: Wyclef, Regina Spektor, Jaymay
Favorite driving music with kids in the car: Jack Johnson, Lisa Loeb, Will Smith
Worst car moment: Driving 45 minutes to my parent’s house with a sore throat and a screaming baby who was using his hand, cheek and forehead as Kleenex... just to find that they weren’t there and I had to do it for 45 more minutes all the way back.
Car snack of choice: My son- Annie’s Cheddar Bunnies. Me- Tall 4-pump caramel latte.
Most embarrassing thing you have ever done in a car: Pumped breast milk with my Medela Pump-In-Style... while driving.
Weirdest item in the family car right now: A stick of deodorant in the center cup console
My next car will really be a: Realistically- A Honda Odyssey. Hopefully- Mercedes GL320 CDI.
