This is a vehicle that I hope and pray I will someday be able to afford because it should be as practical as a minivan but NOT a minivan. I actually have a very good friend who is planning on buying one and I told him that in a few years when he is ready to get something new and I have my V paid off I will gladly take his. That is probably the only way I can afford one. Part of the reason I decided to buy an 01 V instead of the 02 was so I could put the thousands I saved on the 01 towards (hopefully) the new Pilot, or whatever other 7 passenger vehicle I decide to buy. Then the Pilot (or minivan if that is the case

) will be for the family and I will just be commuting in my V. Then both my wife and I will have vehicles we can haul up to three kids in since my '90 Mazda extended cab pickup won't suffice. Those are the plans so far and could always change.
