That's right, folks. We are now part of the Minivan Mafia that is taking over families all across this nation. When Prince Charming and I were married we might have included, "We will NEVER own a Minivan" in our vows. I have loved my Volvo Cross Country so much for the past 7 years. I have never loved a car that much. But that car was lacking some space that I was craving. I wanted more head room, another seat for other family members to ride in, and automatic doors for crying out loud! I wasn't ready for an SUV. I wanted convenience and space. So, enter the Honda Odyssey. I actually like the way this Minivan looks. After test driving it, I knew I had found the car for our family. Prince Charming was still hung up on the Minivan stigma and frankly didn't like the appearance of the car. However, he was sold on the convenience factor and I knew I had my foot in the door. So, with one broken marriage vow and an incredible quote due to the Dealer's blunder, we took the plunge. I still can't believe I have a new car. I absolutely love it! The boys love the sliding doors and the "smell" and I love that I don't have to duck my head in order to buckle them into their seats. The Volvo will be missed as it holds many memories for us. It took us across the country, twice. It has been shipped to AND from Hawaii. We brought both of the boys home from the hospital in that car. We will be sure to have a proper Good Bye whenever we sell it. Until then, I am looking forward to all of the new memories that the new Truckster will hold.

My condolences for succumbing to the inevitable. I have a love/hate relationship with our van. I hate being a mini van driver and yet you really just can't beat the space and comfort. It was bound to happen...might as well embrace it by going through a drive through and throwing some fries on the floor. It sure is pretty.
I love my honda. i wish i had a new one. congrats and enjoy. you will love it.
