Hello,
On more than one occasion, I've had the dreaded "Is your car practical for when we have kids?" discussion. There are really only two responses to this question:
a) "No, not at all. Your point?"
b) "Yes, it's perfectly safe (even though it doesn't ride high, or have lots of room)"
Either way makes me sound like an idiot. The eventual choice will come. Either I keep the car in the garage and get a more "family-oriented" car (thinking of WRX wagon, because it will still be sort of fun, fiancee is thinking SUV or van), or get rid of the car to bring the payments on the family truckster down.
I desperately love my car, and have no plans to ever retire it.
The worst part is that my fiancee has an SUV already, but she thinks we need 2, just in case
She likes the MINI just fine, but thinks that I'd be a fool to get another one, if anything should ever happen to the one we've got (knock on wood).
Any thoughts? What have you done in this situation, or what would you do?
