Did I just buy an SUV? I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.
  • really?

    >Mini-vans are lame, I agree, but there are alternative wagons that DO have a third row of seating, are plenty safe, and offer more than enough space for 95%+ of the time you are using the car <

    Where? We looked, but didn't find them. Used cars with third rows were giant vans. It's illegal for me to toss them in the back of an old station wagon, if I could find one to buy (which would be an milage/emissions nightmare, I'd think). We've got people to transport, and so we got the highest milage, cheapest minivan we could. All the time, we'd think something was three rows (Dodge Magnum) and find out it was two.

    Minivans are lame. So is getting up at 7am, diapers, kids misbehaving in restaurants, and telling your teen that he's not indestructible. We survive.
