I give little thought to the type cars I drive, as evidenced by my faded red 1999 CRV. I figure it gets me where I’m going, jumps at the opportunity to hold my books, plants, fragrant bags of mulch, and okay, an occasional bundle of prickly pine needles.
Now that Piper is on the scene, however, a more reliable vehicle with a few more safety features may be in order. And while a fold-down DVD player isn’t a must, I admit it would be a sweet bonus.
Dream: A shiny two-tone black/white Toyota FJ Cruiser
Reality: Now that I’m a “Grammy”, a two-door vehicle would not be conducive for Piper’s car seat.
Reality check: Having Piper as a future passenger in any reliable vehicle for zoo trips, afternoon matinees, and Baskin Robbins is far more dreamlike than anything a black shiny Cruiser could offer.
is finally better than your dreams.” ― Dr. Seuss
Yep–having Piper in your life surely trumps the cruiser any day.
Soooo true, Ellen! 🙂
I hope you get a fun, jazzy little car! I love my Ford Escape – hauls all kinds of stuff AND it's easy to haul little guys around!
Be sure to post pics of your new ride!
I used to like those but heard they have visibility issues with those wide metal window strips
The Toyota that i9
Thanks Susan! A fun, jazzy little car…hmmm…. 🙂
Yikes, Marcia! Visibility issues? Cross that one off. I need all the visibility I can get — especially with the Pipester on board!
From one grandmother to another, let me tell you that a van is sooooo much easier than any kind of car. When we had small grandkids, we had a van, went to a car, and went back to a van.
No comparison when you're trying to get those little ones of out their car seats!
Sounds like good advice, Vonda. No surprise there. 🙂 Thanks!!
Yes, little ones who don't say a word, makes us rethink our personal style for their comfort. Your wisdom is showing, Cathy.
Piper will be bless in you chosing the best for you two ladies of the King to drive around in comfort and grace.
Drive on!
