I just got a 2007 Odyssey EX-L to replace my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited as my surfboard hauler and Home Depot mobile. I wanted to be able to bring more surfboards with me to the beach (it's not far) and have them locked up. I put 2000 miles a year on the Jeep and expect to put about the same on the Odyssey. I am enjoying the forum and it has already been helpful. I am looking forward to being an active member since the Odyssey will be a "hobby" car for me.
