Taking the Ghetto Out of the Hobbs, Car Installment

New car! New car!! NEW CAR!!! Can you see my happy dance? Just picture me doing a vintage "Toyota" jump in front of our new-to-us 2005 Toyota Sienna!! We found this sweet Toyota Certified ride right here in Manassas for a great price. Here are my favorite things about coming into a current-century car (in no particular order):

1. What? Both speakers work in the car?
2. Dude, are you telling me there is actually a cupholder in the front? No, wait. There are THREE cupholders in the front!
3. I can change the radio station/volume on the steering wheel!
4. HUGE trunk space and choice of collapsing just part of the 3rd row seat.
5. You mean you're not supposed to feel the car shift gears? That's awesome!
6. Super-awesome brakes & new tires.
7. Thank you slow economy for lowering the price on this car because it's been on the lot for 45 days!
8. Knowing that it's covered under warranty for 66,000 more miles!
9. I am so looking forward to the death-match races between Grant and Blake to see who gets to press the power-sliding door button!
10. Our first ever "press the button to unlock your car" keychain!!
11. $25 gift certificate to the Toyota Parts store. Umm, do think we can use it on 25 Cokes from their vending machine?
12. Muchas Gracias salesman Roger who didn't pressure us to buy and didn't mind our ratty kids who whined all afternoon.
13. Wireless headphones if we don't want to listen to kid music. Blake loves them!
14. And lastly, cheers to having a car that will run for many years to come! Anybody want a ride?
