Bus is doing great, but neither vehicle is a kid hauler. I'll figure something out before then.

Wait isn't the bus a transporter? Not the safest but was meant to haul people. Lol

Station Wagon, and yeah it transports all right, but at 55 mph. Not the desired speed for daily driving on I-90 right lol?

Just try it for a few days. You'll be happier when you get to work, and before you know it you'll be wondering what all the hurry was about. :)

Oh shit!! Fasten your seatbelt, grab a red bull or five, and watch the carnage begin! I am going to upgrade my bandwidth just to deal with the pics......

And Rammy, I heart your philosophy. I kinda feel like that when I drive the Rabbit to work....after my teeth stop vibrating, that is.

Mike, don't you still have the Tahoe AND the Jetta? I mean, she can't drive both to work....
