We are playing musicall cars! Lauren is now driving the Grand Am, with her going back and forth to school in North East Arkansas, it seemed sensible to let her have the car with the best gas mileage.
I am now driving the white Ford Explorer. It's two door with seatbelts for three besides the driver. I rarely have anyone with me, and usually don't drive anywhere except for school and the grocery store, so it made sense for this switch as well.
We purchased a "Family vehicle" that we will use when we're all giong places together. We found a used Mercury Mountaineer. It is burgandy, with cream cloth upholstry. It had one owner before us who seemed to take really good care of it. Mike will drive it the majority of the time back and forth to work.
I like to drive the mountaineer as well. The gas and brake pedals are adjustable so that short drivers like me don't ahve to sit so close to the steering wheel/air bag.

It sounds like you got everything figured out...we need to purchase another used vehicle...Right now it is just the two of us so we don't need one right away.....

We were that way for awhile. Before our daughter graduated from high school, we only had one. I worked at her high school. We would drop my husband off at work and go to school. By the time her after school activities were over, he was off work so we would just run by and pick him up and head home. Worked out great and saved alot of money in gas and insurance.
