swagger wagon

reed's sister and her husband just made they ultimate parent purchase... they bought a minivan.  to top it all off, they love it!  reed and i took it for a spin on mother's day and we can now confirm that we will not be making any such purchase.  i know what you're all thinking, you just can't understand how awesome they are until you have kids.  i've heard all about the features & the space & the convenience, it's just not for us -- i hope and pray it's not for us. 

as a side note: i will say that my brother, sister and i did have some pretty awesome times in "big red" as our van was affectionately known.  you see, when i was little, the common minivan didn't have a tv and dvd player.  ours did.  that's right, only ours was rigged up by the technicians where dad worked it helped that he worked for the cable company.  dad would take out the middle seat of the van and put down blankets for us to sit on.  yes, that means we didn't have seatbelts on.  please don't judge.  he would then put the tv and vcr on the floor for us to watch.  yep, a vcr in the minivan.  our favorite movie to watch in the car was adventures in babysitting.  my dad can recognize the movie by sound from hearing it so much, but i'm still not sure he's actually seen the movie. 

ok, so back to the reason for the post.  anna sent me an e-mail with a video of "the swagger wagon" and i have been sitting here laughing out loud for the past 10 minutes or so.
