Blogging Prompt ~ Start Your Engines
by Jane on Tuesday, 29th July 2008

WonderHubby and I have been talking about thinking about planning to get a larger family vehicle.

One day.

So I thought that for today’s blogging prompt, I’d ask you all (yes, all 3 of you) to write about your dream car.

I know, I know. Drooling over cars is supposed to be a man~thang. No longer is it so…

Our talking about thinking about plan is that before too long we will want to take the Kidz out with a friend each. Heaven knows why, but we will want to.

My little blue Pulsar will not do. Not if we want to avoid stuffing someone in the boot with the mouldy picnic rug and the rusty umbrella I keep meaning to replace.

WonderHubby’s little red Corolla will not do. For the same reason, but minus the rug and umbrella.

Hence, we need to talk about thinking about plans to get a larger family vehicle. Probably for moi, although I love my little Pulsar.

Now we’re also limited by the fact that we prefer to own Nissans or Toyotas, because of their reliability.

It makes it easier because there’s less choice, but then there’s less to choose from and that might make it hard to find something. Huh?

So we need to talk, and think and plan this whole business a little more, and then in two or three years time I’ll announce that we’ve bought something.

We’ll be looking for a Nissan/Toyota 6/7 seater in a nice colour, which is reliable, has air conditioning, power steering, and central locking.  ~Oh, and isn’t too big.

Wish me luck.

  3. Good luck! We will someday have a bigger car too. Right now we fit our family of 5 plus 1 dog into our Chevy Cavalier. We look like a clown car when we arrive at our destination! Our issue with car buying is money and eco-friendly.
    I do love the “talking about thinking about” I often approach things like this with my husband.

  4. What a lovely blog you have here! Love the colors and scrapbook look on the header. I’m not much help on this one. We own a minivan for our family of 5. After you’ve experience rear-sliding doors, it is hard to go back.

  5. My dream car is a red 911 Porsche. And my kids are getting older, so I won’t feel at all guilty about saying, “oohh, Sorry Sweetie, no room in the car.”

  7. It’s not a Toyota or Nissan, but how about a Honda Pilot-seats 8 and very reliable. I love mine!! It’s still Japanese and they know how to make cars.
