Weird

I went out today while Mark and Alan were napping.
I stopped at Toys R Us to see if I could find any bargains (no luck).
The whole entire first row by the store was full of SUVs and/or minivans. But one pulled out so I could park my little itty bitty Escort :)
It just seem so sterotypical to see ALL the SUVs in a row at the toy store on a day off school. (Yes, we did have bad weather in NJ today.)

I drive an Escort as well. A 1993 white 4-door LX. I love my car. I've had it for 11 years this month.

This is my second Escort

I had one as a college graduation gift from 1984 to 1989 - it ended up with 102k miles and a blown head gasket (lots of trips from MA to NY put on miles).

I've had this one since 1997, its a 1995 2 Door LX in Sunrise Canyon Red (looks pink). 62k miles on it. You'll have an easier time with a car seat in a 4 door, but I had no idea of Mark (or Alan) when I got the car :(

I've got about 4k before I hit 100k miles. I can't wait. I didn't have much of a commute in Salt Lake so my car got babied and I'm probably getting more years out of it because of that.

The only problem I forsee if that it will be hard to have my dog and baby in the car at the same time. I may have to get Chloe a dog-belt for the front seat.

We have an Escort, too! I'm sure that occasionally it would be nice to have a larger vehicle, but we're very happy with our Escort. We could always rent something bigger if we needed to, but so far we haven't. We only have one car, too, which makes us something of an oddity in our area. But we have a great bus system, which I take to and from campus, and to drop off Paul at his day care three days a week. This is all when we're in Illinois, not in Mayotte. Here we have no car and no bus sytem, but a sturdy, reliable stroller :-), and Paul is cared for in our home.

I think most families don't really *need* a large vehicle for daily use. Too bad more people don't opt for smaller cars, which are less dangerous on the road and consume less gas.

Oh, and it is so neccessary to have gas guzzlin', space hoggin' SUVs in suburbia too.
