My sister and her husband have been talking for awhile about getting a new, bigger car with a third row of seats. They've decided they like the Honda Odyssey, which is a van. I cringed when I heard this news, because hello, it's a minivan, and minivans are decidedly uncool. It also seemed like an unnecessary purchase to me; we rarely go anywhere where we would need extra seats to fit more people. But then I began to think; they're talking about trying to have another baby in the next couple of years, and if they're successful, they'll have two car seats in the back, with no room for me. So if I ever want to travel anywhere with them again, I'll either have to drive my own car, or they'll have to get a bigger car. So I'm supporting their choice to get a van because it will benefit me, and I'm supremely selfish.
It's not set in stone that they'll get the van anytime soon. They're still talking to the Honda dealership about what kind of finance rates they can get and all that jazz, and they may wait a while or look into an older model. But they're definitely interested in buying. I've heard that the Odyssey (I'm not calling it a van anymore, it just sounds too lame) has some cool features like a temperature control in the backseat, which means no more complaining to them to turn the damn heat up. It also has a really powerful engine. The Big O (that's a proper nickname, don't you think?) may actually be fun to ride in. I'll keep you posted as we proceed in talks with the dealership.
