Is it time? Tell me its not.

My wife is pretty anti the van movement too.....

If you want to talk your wife into a van, present the following scenario to her:

It's raining ... hard. You have to get the kids to school. Do you want your arse outside in the rain whilst buckling the little ankle biters into their seats or do you want it in the warm/dry van.

That's was the clincher whenever I wanted to get a conversion van for hauling the kids around years ago (back when they were still kids)

We just bought a brand new Ford Flex on Sunday. We love it! Seats 7, gets 23mpg, enough horsies to make me use both hands on the steering wheel, tows 5000lbs and they are 6-15K off of MSRP right now, due to new model 2015 coming out next year sometime. We got ours for 26K out the door. It is unique enough to meet my demands, but of course, we still have the VX and the sitting in the driveway as well. Kind of wanted a van, but they just don't have the tow capacity. With the flex,I can tow the VX if I had to to get her home.
