Totaled
Posted in New Stuff by: AlisaSeptember 26th, 2008
The van is totaled. I just talked to the insurance rep and they’re actually giving us a really fair price on the van. Which shocked me. I have had a totally painless experience with Farmers. I’m really glad we have them for our insurance. As odd as this is to say it’s actually been pleasant to work with them.
So anyways I’ve already started shopping for a replacement. I thought the H2 was a very reasonable family car. What do you think?
Btw, I’m joking. I would feel ridiculous driving this around. My only requirement is a third row seat whether it be a van or an suv. What are your favorite family vehicles?

I drive a Honda Pilot now and besides the fact that half of Utah County drives them I really like it. The gas mileage is good for a SUV and the third row seat is very spacious. My mom drives a Subaru Tribecca and it has a third row seat which only comes in handy when she is driving my kids around or the seven dwarfs; it’s pretty miniature.

yep! I would say go for the Pilot also. When we moved to Utah we had a sweet SUburban, but it was only a two wheel drive (cause we were living in CA!). So when we moved to Utah we bought the Pilot! I totally loved it, and the only downer was it was a tight squeeze for us when we would do the UT/CA loop. BUT we also had one more kid than you do, and really it wasnt all that bad, it just took some smart packing, or one of those Thules on top. When I got pregnant with Marik #5, we traded for a Suburban because we had outgrown the Pilot. It was either things or kids, but never things AND kids. Again, that was because we had too many kids. It’s a perfect car for your family of 5. I would love for Mike to drive a Pilot because I miss ours.
I was always amazed at how I could configure the seating arrangements, seats laid flat and smooth.
Check it out.
Such a hard spot when your car is damaged, because what if you aren’t in a financial position to add anything to the money the insurance gives you? I hope you guys can get a good deal on something.
