Driving a Mini-van?

The Mini-van. The Queen of all Mommy cars. Do you have one? Recently, I purchased my first mini-van. Honestly, I don’t mind being a soccer mom. In fact, my macho husband drives it even more than I do. I was concerned at first when we got rid of his old Jeep to get a mini-van. Was this equivalent to neutering a male dog? Besides, he already has to live with three girls with lots of pink and polish- now he has to give up his masculine car for a mini-van. Luckily, it wasn’t an issue. It didn’t hurt his male ego one bit. If I could choose my vehicle of choice, I would choose a VW bug! I’ve always loved those little cars.

Isn’t it great that with just one click on the internet, you can research the car of choice? Being a great tool for researching safety, price, etc., I’ve used these sites when searching for my new and used vehicles. One great site that my girls and I were exploring today is called TheCarConnection.com. They had fun exploring different types of cars and selecting their own car.
I showed them a few different vehicles and then got their opinion about each car. Peanut liked the Toyota Yaris because the model shown is “shiny and blue.” Great reason to buy a car. He, He. Sunshine on the other hand, chose a more expensive model, a Lincoln MKS. “Do they have it in a convertible? I want a convertible.” She better start saving now for this pricey car. On the other hand it did get a better rating than the Toyota Yaris. Lastly, I showed the girls information and photos of the Chevrolet Cruze. They both gave this model a thumbs down. It wasn’t “cool” enough for them. Car "window" shopping with them is too funny!

If you are in the market to buy a new car, be sure to check out TheCarConnection.com or if you want to have fun dreaming like me with your curious kids, you can do that, too!

Take Care!
