It got kind of sad after JD started driving and accidentally got a side mirror ripped off. We kept having to dump more & more money into it and knew it was on our last legs. The air conditioning is also dead, a big dent in the side, and it gets about 10 miles to the gallon. Since Chris is the only one working we really didn't have the money to get a "new" or new to us van.
God stepped in and made my dad decide it was time for him to get a new vehicle. He was generous to sell us his used mini van for a fantastic price. It's a 2008 with only 56,000 miles on it!
There's not one stain, one spot, one scratched part on this van!
If I have to drive a mom-van, I'm glad to have a really nice one again.
It's got all the bell's & whistles and has been impeccably maintained. I couldn't be happier with a brand new vehicle. This has the drivers side sliding door, rear heat & radio controls, working air & no parts ripped off accidentally by teenage boys. (Of course I share this with JD & Jack starts drivers training on Monday [EEEK].)
Now if I could just get brave enough to driver it over 35 miles an hour out of fear that I might mess it up it would be great!

That is a HUGE car! It looks good and nice and shiny and dentless. Nice of your dad to decide he needs a new one.
Drive safely ;-)
Wow! What a blessing! I'm always thankful for a new car. I can never get over just how much God takes care of our every need. Now if you could only keep the kids away from it ;)
