Soccer Mom...
Today, we joined the ranks of the elite "Soccer Mom Club." It's a prestigious honor. To join, all you need to do... is purchase a Mini-Van.
This afternoon we sold our enclosed 5x8 trailer that made it possible to bring along whatever possessions we could stuff into it from PA, and turned that money into a down-payment on this second "status symbol" vehicle. We went back to the well and got ourselves another Ford... a Freestar I think.
Now, say what you will... I know there are people out there (especially me) that have had major issues with a certain brand of car... But, when thinking back upon it... we have had fewer problems with our Ford Explorer than any other car we've ever owned. Not to say that we didn't hit our own little bumps in the road... I'm not even going to try to rehash the transmission issue, but that was the only obstacle we faced with our Explorer. It never let me/us sitting on the side of the road... even after it faced a grueling challenge of carting our family and that trailer of possessions through the Rocky Mountains.
That being said, I don't think I would purchase another vehicle from this place. I didn't particularly care for the sales force. But after giving up basically everything we owned in PA... it's nice to have a second vehicle again.
To this date; this is my first time in history to have a car that is newer than either of my children. I'm not thrilled with having a car payment, but it is what it is. It’s part of being a grown up…

When you put the spinners on make sure you take a picture for me!

Congrats! I hope your interactions the ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation), are better than PennDOT.
