I’m the oldest of 7 children. Now this was in the day before children’s car seats took up so much room. It is a bit more of a challenge these days to seat a large family in 1 vehicle.
But my parents always owned 1 big car (station wagon, van, these days an SUV because they have a camper) and 1 commuter car (subcompact). That arrangement worked well for them — and because of everyone’s schedules, sometimes they would have needed two vehicles on family trips anyway.

Hi SC. I understand too, I’d much rather drive my Nissan than her Durango. We’re just staying with what we have right now. I’d rather drive 2 cars than have a big’ol car payment.

Thanks for you comment!

I understand your wife not wanting to drive such a large car. I drive a small car and occasionally borrow my sis’s SUV–and I don’t like driving it. It’s too big and I can’t see well from the back (hers isn’t equipped with any fancy cameras). I like driving the smaller SUVs but that’s not what you’re looking at.

Plus, even though you have a large family, there will be times when you have to drive the suburban by yourself and then I know you’ll probably get looks from people who see you alone driving a suburban around town.

That being said, I drove a minivan when I was in high school (family car that became my car) and it was fairly easy to drive. I would really look twice at the 8 passenger minivans as they are not such gas guzzlers.

I’m glad you liked the idea. your exactly right about the miles being highway too. i have always found that those types of vehicles work out really nicely for people. you know its only highway driving because
it is difficult to put miles on “just around town” and like you said
they are usually maintained by a company so you know its a reasonably safe purchase.

thanks for emailing me by the way. i responded and hope to hear from you soon..

thanks
joel
