It's a New Car, Bob

Well, new to us. We hated to see the old Passat go, but with growing maintenance cost and a need for a little more space it was time to get a new vehicle. It's a Ford Explorer with the all important third row seating. It's the closest thing we could find that had all the functionality of a mini-van, but is not a mini-van. Not that we have anything against mini-vans. Some of our closest friends drive mini-vans.
