Meet Big Mama

So you know how when you're dating and someone tries to set you up on a blind date and you ask what he's like and the person responds, "Well, he's just such a great guy, from an awesome family, amazing cook, great smile, such a strong testimony," and then you instantly know that he's probably five hundred pounds and lives at home with his mother?
That's how I feel introducing you to our new van, aptly named "Big Mama." She has a flat screen bigger than our computer monitor (not hard to do, I know).
She has a dvd player. And in rare fashion, she also has this:
Yes, VHS.
She has room in her for Marianne to crawl around.
I can almost stand up in her.
I can almost stand up because she has a high-top. Which is a very nice place to put all of the wood paneling and mood lighting.
She has dual exhaust. (A favorite of Rus')
She has doors on both sides. Not sliding doors, regular doors.
She's all leather. Power everything. Almost purrs, runs like a "raped ape." (Rus' words.)
Meet Big Mama.
For better or worse.

From Rus:
5.3L V8
285 HP
Dual Exhaust
4-wheel disc brakes
18" alloy wheels
Need I say more?

P.S. Does it fit in the garage?

I thought Clint was going to fall off the couch he was laughing so hard about the "raped ape" comment. Apparently that is a well know phrase amongst "the boys". That made my evening.

Oh. My. Stars. I wasn't sure you would ever be able to one up the man van - I stand corrected. I agree with Jenny - I see a road trip to Alaska in your future with that hotel on wheels :). PS - kiss the kiddos - we miss you guys!
