That soccer mom goal is just so close. It's. Right. There. Truthfully, I'll probably be a Mathlete mom first, but I'll still have a cool van.

"I get it's a minivan, but I am truly jealous of your new car." -Adam Walden
We went to look at cars yesterday. As of yesterday morning, I was sold on getting a Sienna. It was almost for sure. And then we went car shopping. This is what we found:
Yes, yes, yes. To be honest, I was not in love with it at first. I was hesitant because I knew that VW and Chrysler had worked together on the engineering for this car, and I'm a true VW fan. That little fact swayed me a little. We got in a new one, and I immediately wanted out. It just wasn't right. But it wasn't the one I went to see. The one I went to see is that pretty one up there. And it's fancy. And I really do love it. And, despite any joint engineering, it's a VW. Adam drove it this afternoon and I heard him rocking some Pearl Jam coming in the driveway. He was reluctant about buying a minivan, but he loves it, too. So much, in fact, that he's a little envious that I'll be the one driving it. It's a pretty cool dad-car, too. (We are definitely in our 30's and parents. No doubt about it now. We're super-psyched about a minivan. C'mon.)

That is a sweet van!!! I'm sure a mini-mom van will be my next purchase. I have a pretty rockin' new Honda CRV, but with two car seats it is full up.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! I feel your pain...the two carseats made for so little room in my back seat. I had to ride in between the two on our way back from Hilton Head, and I think that was my breaking point. Even in the van, the carseats made everything shrink once they were in! Still, it's nice to have a couple of extra seats. Good luck with the van shopping...from there, I don't tihnk there is sny turning back until after they're off to college. :)
