This week's topic for Monday Listicles is 10 things about my car...
Let me give you a little background... my very first car was a mini-van... yep, I inherited it from my mom who was ready to downsize her vehicle back to a sedan and the price "free" was right!
Fast forward several cars and several years later and we were shopping for a new car for our family of four - I wanted a mini-van but Wayne was dead set against it... we were a one car family so I wanted to make him comfortable and we agreed on a Kia Rondo crossover... great with two kids, but with three... well, Robyn had to climb into the third row seat from the trunk... and when we went somewhere as a family we couldn't take the stroller too... so I have finally come full circle and we have a family mini-van:
10. We picked this particular van because it has 2nd row captains chairs and third row car seat anchors... you'd be surprised how few models accommodate car seats in the third row..
9. It is great to drive and incredibly comfortable on long car trips... despite what Wayne might say to the contrary...
8. It's used... it felt good to be able to pay cash for it so we wouldn't have a car payment!
7. It's one of two colors of car I said I would never own... the other being black... but it was the right car at the right price... so white it is...
6. It fits everyone in comfortably and we even had a bit of room to spare when we took our trip home to Canada for six weeks this summer...
5. It has enough leg room for Robyn, even in the third row... yep, this tall drink of water actually fits:
4. It does not go super sonic... but this jet does:
3. I am now out of pictures of my van... actually I was out of pictures two numbers ago... did you like my stretch?
2. In a perfect world, my mini-van would be brand spanking new, blue and have heated leather seats and all the latest bells and whistles, but I'm still happy with it...
1. I am a proud mini-van driver and my next car will still be a mini-van... I am never going back!
