New Car - I'm a minivan momma :)

KingMom wrote: Well last Wednesday I found the van I've been looking for in my price range. I waiting patiently but finally! I called and the guy said he children were all grown, so no kids, no pets, and no smoking. Too good! Well he had someone else already lined up to look that evening, he called me later and said he gave the guy 24 hours. The next night I called and he hadn't heard anything but wanted to give the person until the next morning. I was persistant and called the at 8:40 the next morning and he still hadn't heard. So he drove it to my work and let me take it for a drive. I loved it and was at the bank by 1 picking up the check. We got a great deal and no dealer would have ever come down to what we paid.

We got a 2006 Honda Odyssey, it has a sunroof, leather, dvd player with headphones and automatic side doors, i don't have to touch them to open Very nice when my hands are full with Lauren and two diaper bags! Colin easily gets in by himself too!

Once I get a picture I'll share it!

I like that better than my expression - the "Grocery Getter"

Actually it is quite funny - my husband has an ATV - brand new - fancy - real boy toy - he pulls it with the minivan - not quite a manly way to tow it around but I told him its either that or the ATV goes cause we can't afford a truck payment AND the ATV payment............

We call it "The Family Truckster" I think we may have stolen that from some movie though.
