OP here and I had to wait a good while until I stoped laughing and crying to be able to type my response!!!!

How old do you guys think I am? No, I'm not worried about being cool (HA!) and my babysitting years ended just 2 years ago when I had DC1. And I still babysit on occasion and the last van I drove was just 4 weeks ago when we went to FL for vacation. It had a camera but still I felt like all the other cars were on top of me.

We practice sports that's why we like our SUV and I told DH there's nothing wrong with asking friends to meet us at our destination or have them drive behind us when we go out together. Our family is growing and some things inevitably must change.

I'm doing just fine handling DC in and out of the car and our weather is much worse than DC's mild seasons. Our car is in the garage and most of the palces we go to also have covered lots.

Seems like I got exactly what I was looking for. There's absolutely no great reason to get such a huge car for us just yet. [/quote]

I think it hits you when your kids want to bring friends home, carpool to practice, etc.  At some points the parents stop coming on playdates, and if you carpool to practices that means you can cut out a lot of your car trips.  I am guessing you are not at this point right now, but I would not buy a new car without considering whether it will fit you 5 years out, when your oldest is in 2nd or 3rd grade.
