Choices, choices, choices.

As part of our "package" we get to select our car from specific lines. They really are wonderful selections - one of the bright spots of the move. We've toured the BMW dealership, Mini Cooper dealership, Toyota, and Lexus just to name a few. We observed all the cars on the road to see how many people can ride in them and how well they fit into the parking spaces. We also test drove an Audi for a couple of days. We want to make just the right choice since we only plan on getting one car (the 2nd one will be on our tab). Well, we have come to a decision...... drum roll please........ a VW minivan. Yes, you heard right. We gave up a brand new BMW to have room to cart you people around when you come visit, so by golly, you'd better come visit!!! My personal preference would be a brand new mini cooper, but the kids would not do well downsizing from their own row of seats in a suburban to a 1' wide seat, no leg room, sporty mini cooper. I had dreams of looking like Cherize Theron driving through Europe in The Italian Job, but I know, keep dreamin'.
