The bounce starts to leave your step. The hair around your temples starts to turn grey, some even begins falling out. You find it harder and harder to understand what passes for "music" these days. You buy a minivan. You get old.
That's right, I admit it. Sami and I are officially old. We bought a new minivan yesterday, a Chrysler Town & Country EX. Many of you may balk at the idea, but I assure you that once you have kids, a mortgage and all the other trappings of family life, the idea of minivan becomes more and more appealing. I personally don't have reservations about owning one, neither does Sami. It seems to fit us and our life.
We downloaded all the information we could about Chrysler, Dodge and Honda minivans, grabbed the auto section of last Sunday's paper and we were off. We had plans of hitting several dealerships, but as luck would have it, the first place we looked had a deal that was literally too good to pass up. We traded in the Honda, dropped another $250 and drove off the lot in a beautiful 2001 Patriot blue Town & Country. It's loaded with features and has tons of room. And for all you gearheads out there, it's got a kick-ass 3.8 litre, fuel injected V-6. The power sliding door and lift gate are pretty cool, too!
I was always concerned about growing up and growing old, but now that I've started to, I don't know what the big deal was. I kinda like it.
