I am SO angry at Volkswagon!!


I think we all have a list of things we swore we would NEVER do in a trillion 1/2 years- well, the only one on my list was: buy a mini van.

I couldn't imagine a more more painful experience...

...until now.

Yup, we bought a mini van Tuesday night and the shock still hasn't worn off yet. No offense to all the mini van lovers out there, go ahead and party it up in yours, but I need a little more time to adjust to even the thought of me stepping foot in it. Why, oh, why, God, hasn't Volkswagon made a new modern, safe, reliable van yet???
(heavy sigh...)

For what it is, I'm actually, completely happy with it: the color is fine, the price was affordable, we traded in our beloved Jeep, it's SUPER CLEAN, it has air conditioning, a CD player, a tape player so I can rock out to my favorite old school music, it's a 2005, has good miles, more storage than thought possible, it will fit my growing family, it's great for yard sales, it's good on gas milage, and honestly, it is super sexy! So with all those things going for it- who could resist, right?
(an even heavier sigh...)

So, here I go, getting ready to leave for yard sales with the kids in our super hot mini van. At least it has a peace sign on the back, i guess...

ha ha! I'm personally not a car person. I cried when we sold my Accord and got a van, but only because I loved the car. Vans are fine, I just view it as one of life's necessities. Remember that girl who lived in our apt complex at Ricks - she had a blue mini van and she was single. Crazy, but now we are all in that boat!

I just hope I don't have to get one of the big UGLY 8 passenger vans one day...

oh I know the feeling about mini vans we had one, but then traded it in for a truck and we have a mercury mountianer now. I don't see me as a van person either.

I'm impressed you were able to hold out as long as you did! We'll definitely be rocking a minivan when our next baby comes along; convenience definitely trumps style in this area :). Maybe I'll try a peace sign too, though . . .
