I used to be cool. I’m not anymore, because now I drive a mini-van. Ack! 

Once I was pregnant with my second, we decided to trade in my Acura TSX for a Dodge Caravan. Now, I know the new Dodge Caravans have all the bells and whistles, like the seats that fold down, or the TV, etc. But my mini-van is an old one and a base model.

I can live without the TV and the fold down seats, heck I can live without leather! But oh heated seats, how my bum misses you.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand that a mini-van is much more functional for a family of 5, but why can’t they make mini-vans that look like sports cars? Is that too much to ask?

The day my Acura went away a tiny little part of my heart died. And the day I saw my mini-van, it died a little bit more.
