WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?!!?
I am actually getting excited about owning one of those mom mobiles that I claimed for years that I would NEVER drive. A minivan like my mom drove and I had as my super embarrassing car to borrow in high school. And we are on the road to buying one. We are in the market anyway and hope to have one before our road trip to Colorado this summer for a week of camping (the gear would be definitely be a tight fit in my Escape).
What does it take, though, to find something that is affordable, reliable, remotely cool looking, with low mileage and not being sold by someone trying to scam you (I have actually had two people try to get me to send them money in the UK this week on Craigs List)? My first choice at this point is a Honda Odyssey, but it is hard to find one that meets all of our requirements and that we can afford.
There I said it. I want a minivan. We will actually be able to fit our third child if and when we have one, and the visiting grandparents, and sometimes the roommate, too.
Any shred of coolness that I was gripping onto for dear life is now flying out the window of my SUV. Yes, a minivan...what a nice, practical ride!
