Everytime my wife talks about trading her Grand Cherokee on a mini van I get chills. So I remind her that, “This winter’s gonna be bad, better keep the Jeep” Good luck with the van, maybe a pittspeed sticker would help it out… ---

I have 2 kids and won’t even consider a minivan. They get about the same mileage as a midsize suv (which sucks) and can’t haul a lot more than it can. Good luck ---

Mike…I owe three more years on the Acura. If the Acura was paid off, i would have delt with it and kept it, but it’s starting to have problems, and you can barely even get the damn baby seat in the back seat. Shelley wanted another SUV, but the gas mileage is horrible, and the Van is about 6,000 dollars cheaper than an SUV of the same year/mileage/etc. Besides, we wanted the room. We are planning on having another kid in two years and we have a 70 lb pitbull, so the van made more sense. ---

I’d still be a nervous wreck with a little kid around. he’s not a purebred. besides, he’s never left unattended with her. He just sniffs and licks her. He’s been very protective of her so far. If she starts to cry, he starts to get excited, like he’s worried about her. Its funny ---
