Yes we have entered the Cult with the rest of the world. We purchased a Van. I drive it around and I feel so old. I'm used to driving my Black Hotness (yes the truck), or the sporty Outback (which speaks for it's self), but the van. the suspension is not sporty at all, it feels longer than my truck (it's not really though). The good parts are it is very Malibu'esk. For those of you who don't know me we had a Chevy Malibu before we got the truck. I drove it into the ground and sold it for $1500.00 (it had 204000 miles on it).
It has a very similar engine (just a little bigger), and all of the controls are almost the same. One feature screams at me though. The gas gage. On my truck its really small (I think they do that so you don't realize it goes down quick). The gas gage on the van is as big as the speedometer. I wonder if that's because they had a rash of people getting stuck in the desert because they didn't realize they were out of gas.
My brother B has one very similar to it. It's a Chevy but looks smells feels exactly the same. As B says it has enough power to do what I want it to.
The biggest problem with Mini vans is they are so d%&m practical. There isn't another car on the planet which holds more than 6 people, gets 25-30 miles per gallon, and still holds 25 soccer balls in the back (and is less than $30000). The best feature of all was the price tag. We bought it from some friends in Idaho Falls who moved to Hawaii and needed to get rid of it. I thank them for their sacrifice. It will be paid for as soon as we sell the Subaru.
Now for the pictures of the kids!!!
He really could drink all of this. This is also an example of good parenting.
This is Zacky at his cousin Afton's birthday party. He's a little to happy to be wearing a dress.
This shakes me to the core.
Dog #2, #1 kept nipping at the boys so he had to go. There is still no love in my heart for dogs.
This is me. I think this is the 3rd or 4th picture of me on the blog. That's just a sweet shirt I got off of eBay. Marci would be so proud. It was $4.
These are some pics our neighbor took. She does a good job.
(Truth)
This is just funny!!!
This is the bands that has probably influenced my music preference the most..
