Well, I'd prefer something like the Toyota Sequoia for a family car (let's not call it a Mommy van, ha!). Well, I guess you have found your ride by now.

Last year we ...Me oh my!!!! So glad you are safe.<br /><br />Last year we bought a reliable, well maintained, previously owned mini-van. I love it. I don't care that it is boring and ugly and identical to 10,000 other vans exactly like it in my suburb. I. Love. it.<br /><br />Though, I should add that I have three small children with whom my husband and I travel 1000 miles to his parents' house every summer, which makes the beauty (or lack there of) of the thing, truly only skin deep. <br /><br />I also have low standards. I have never had a sexy car. My first car was a Pinto. Stop laughing. And, to get the van, we had to trade in a tan with peach interior Saturn station wagon I inherited from my grandmother.<br /><br />So, for me, cruising around in my 2004 Honda Odyssey is like living the dream, baby.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502168917372783418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-13798235836185916802012-03-20T07:55:01.164-04:002012-03-20T07:55:01.164-04:00This was a cool, post, Anita!

My car is 5 years old and just hit 10,000 miles. Stu maybe drives that in a year.<br /><br />Vans got a bad rap because the image associated with them was soccer mom. How is that a bad thing? There's a reason Dodge Caravan was such a HUGE seller for so long.People Who Know Me Would Say:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04621641188403948733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-39609283207583200372012-03-19T15:47:59.154-04:002012-03-19T15:47:59.154-04:00That is a miracle that you all weren't in the ...That is a miracle that you all weren't in the car at the time. I was like that with my Lexus. I thought it was the perfect fit for me, until I moved to Oregon. I found that I didn't feel comfortable in the Pacific Northwest unless I was driving a gas saver and one that didn't have to be kept clean all the time. The perfect solution is my Honda Hybrid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-60776633096207573242012-03-19T13:05:22.691-04:002012-03-19T13:05:22.691-04:00I drive a huge SUV and adore it, BUT I have to adm...I drive a huge SUV and adore it, BUT I have to admit I loved every second of driving the Chevy Traverse crossover.

The last time I checked, it was still on the road, 25 years old, and still looking good. The rest we got used. The current one is from 1998, and it's doing just fine.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253987680038616859.post-81012882489234713982012-03-19T01:02:34.365-04:002012-03-19T01:02:34.365-04:00I thank God that I no longer have to cater for you...I thank God that I no longer have to cater for young children.

But I grew to love that minivan - we could spread out in it! We could never do that in our previous cars once we had more than two kids. Then we bought a nicer van when that one died. It's more like a car than a truck and fun to drive. My next car though? A 1970's Jaguar in racing green.

I've had the car, the small suv, and a van. Each served its purpose at the time. Now I have a Subaru Outback which is a cross between a small suv and a station wagon...and again serves my purpose.Now that my children are grown I don't feel I need a mini van anymore and with a large dog and hiking trips the suv suits me more.
