And the Winner Is:
They’re bringing it over for a test drive in about 30 minutes. I’m excited. I got a darned good deal (rebates being offered if you sign before 7/31) - it’s black and shiny - although living on a dirt road, I know I’m going to regret this.
For all of you that recommended minivans - aaaaaahhahahahahahahahahaah. No, actually, I thought about it. For about 3 seconds. Honestly though, every time I’ve sat in one, I’ve thought - “Y’know, I could do this - this is pretty nice.” - But then…….somehow, I just can’t do it. A station wagon was hard enough. But you know I love you all.
The hard part is going to be cleaning up the Magnum enough to turn it in. Three years full of baseball and moving (from a small city to the country) and gardening and hauling and a crazy dog…..it’s groady. (Have I just given you all further proof that I’m pushing 45? Groady!)
Now, I’m going to go watch out for the guy bringing it over. And drive around for a few minutes. And then probably end up calling the insurance agent.

HOT LOVE
Your car is nice and sleek and shiny and all that stuff.
But you know what my minivan has?
AUTOMATIC DOORS.
High five for the minivans!
Cupcake -
I know. I checked to see if the Avenger came with automatic doors as an option. But No…… So I suggested that they think about adding that to the 2009 version.
Mine does have a built-in cooler for cans of beer …. er …. pop though!
The Pro would be all over a built-in cooler for, uh, bottled water (wink wink). It’s almost as if the automotive industry is encouraging us to drink. As passengers, of course. Right, Lindsay Lohan, wherever you are??
