Sunday, 2/3

Arrived @ FLL approx. 4:30PM, small number of vehicles in ES : Impala, Suburban, Edge, Grand Caravan, Journey, Captiva, Murano (no keys per windshield). Driving to TPA, so looking for SiriusXM - sat in the Captiva (<5K odo, working sat), while the staff (maybe even Babyboy754) cleaned up the weekend returns, which were in the Alamo area, as well as, the EA. With gas going up and the distance to travel, decided to avoid the intermediate SUV unless no other options (I had just missed a 300). Eventually, the ES filled up with washed vehicles : Camry, Jeep, Murano, Altima, Maxima, Optima...
An XC60 was brought out, but, couldn't tell for sure if sat was working (Acquiring Signal message, probably due to the garage), decided to take a chance and offered it to a female road warrior that was about to drive off in the Journey. Was just about to go with the Captiva, when another 300 was brought out (Black, 9.7K odo, working sat)...we have a winner!
While driving (and listening to the Super Bowl) heard an advertisement of an Sirius XM promotion for 60 channels for the first half of February, oh well.

Overall, nice selection of intermediate/standard SUVs, and sedans @ FLL this day.
