I like sitting up high, the roominess and the more powerful engine. Now to come up with a clever name like Clifford. ;-)Melisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849654840545196368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081296.post-38181811911882756872007-11-29T18:26:00.000-05:002007-11-29T18:26:00.000-05:00I love our 12 passenger.

(Named Clifford, now, thanks to clever Staci at Writing and Living.) <BR/><BR/>Dh is driving the old Suburban (which used to be the 'all of us' vehicle) because it runs and is paid for and his commute is very, very short. <BR/><BR/>Later, when we have driven the 'Burb to death, we plan to replace it with something smaller and better on gas. Right now, though, it's nice that we can all fit in both vehicles.andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088713709519532633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081296.post-49892891767132336982007-11-15T10:08:00.000-05:002007-11-15T10:08:00.000-05:00You could ditch the mazda, sell the minivan, get t...You could ditch the mazda, sell the minivan, get the 12-passenger van, and then another car that James could use for work. I would recommend a Toyota Prius. This way, you could save on gas mileage - otherwise James is going to be spending a lot to get to work and back. You also couldn't transport the whole family in the Prius, but you couldn't in the Mazda either. Just a thought.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11251303795731646810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081296.post-29027378457401433312007-11-12T11:51:00.000-05:002007-11-12T11:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for commiserating, Tina! :)Thanks for commiserating, Tina! :)Melisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849654840545196368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081296.post-81363672962670337132007-11-11T22:30:00.000-05:002007-11-11T22:30:00.000-05:00Too funny about that choice of vehicle.Bummer abou...Too funny about that choice of vehicle.<BR/><BR/>Bummer about the sickness of both human and auto at your home. :o( Neither of them are fun.<BR/><BR/>Blessings~TinaTina in WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702403968068950201noreply@blogger.com
