Well, glaciermom and I finally went out and did it. Yup, we finally upgraded one of our vehicles.
Considering that we live 5+ hours away from any family, and the only way to get there is by car, we opted for a minivan. We just love our new van, and hopefully it will be a good vehicle for glacierbaby, Santana, and any other family or gear we are packing.
It was an interesting experience. In fact, the van we wanted, happened to be sold out from under the salesman we were working with. I can say for certainty that he was none-too-happy about this. We did find another we happy with though.
Although this process did remind me why nobody likes buying cars. All the stupid antics. The negotiating*, saying NO a bizzlion times to stupid extras, all the waiting, and how everyone thanked us afterward.
Anyway we now have our "Silverish" colored van. Maybe glaciermom will let me eat waffles in it.
*Our sale actually followed a typical script, including the sales manager in a private office "Screaming" about how we were trying to rip them off. Glaciermom and I nearly laughed our heads off it was soooooo funny. Who falls for that anyway.
