The New Millennium
That's right, the Reinders have entered the new millennium. We finally traded in the old Pontiac for a 2003 Grand Caravan. Yep, we've gone minivan. Here is how it started: In PA your car has to pass an inspection, and I mean a full vehicle inspection not just an emissions test. Needless to say the '91 Pontiac came up a bit short...ok a lot short. It was to the point where we were going to have to put a pretty big chunk of change into it to fix it or find a different car. We decided on the latter. Through a generous offering from our church (those deavers :) and good help from a car salesman that attends our church we were able to get this really nice van. I still can't believe it's ours. I've never in my life had a car this new and this nice. Granted I would always rather go Nissan (he he) but we did what we could. Oh and it even has one of those new-fangled CD players...time to turn in the cassettes!

ooooooooo! this is definitely a huge step. have we told you all the padgetty minivan stories? well now you can have those adventures on your own...heh heh.
Cool van!!
so--i read your minivan post yesterday and was jealous of how easy it would be to fit 3 carseats in there...and then i had minivan dreams all night! =) it was really silly. i dreamed that you were showing off your minivan and you, josh, shawn and chris and i were in it, and josh and chris were demonstrating how roomy the third row seat was. then chris hopped into the trunk part and said 'look at this!!' and he popped open 3 more rows of seats!! and i was sooo jealous.
=)
love.
val.
That's funny... cause I've always secretly liked the idea of showing the roominess of minivans... they're so spacious!
anyhoo. nice photo of the old car. it looks especially sloppy next to that slick hunk o van.
