Long time readers of this blog know of our struggle for an answer to transportation questions. Our main workhorse is a 2005 Toyota Sienna minivan. With regular trips across the metroplex to Flower Mound for church, we have put some serious miles on the van in the its three years.
The secondary Wilson vehicle is our beloved 1994 Mazda Miata M-Edition. Most people laugh at the thought of toddler daddy, toddler mommy and the four yung’uns owning a Miata as a second car, but with me working at home, we’ve managed to make it work for years. Hey, we figure – it’s paid for, it’s appreciating in value as a collector, and it’s fun, so why change it?
The need for a second car, though, has been growing for a while, and the addition of Austin put things over the top. So about a week and a half ago, we made the plunge and got a truck. I am of course thrilled. Shar surprisingly has decided she likes it, too!
What is not to like? We can fit 5 comfortably (if we need all 6, we take the van), it has an extender in the bed, it is late model (2007), it has leather, a moon roof, and a rocking sound system, and it is clean clean clean. Note pix. So the toddler daddy family is pleased with its new toddler toter.
