My Dream Car?

Two car seats will not fit in the truck so I’ve been thinking about trading for something else when the baby comes in September. Probably won’t happen right away because of finances. When we do get to it though what car would I want?

Right now it would be a Mini Cooper. Not practical, but we have the Pacifica for that. I figure I could get two car seats in there and zip around town. It’d be cool. Maybe a Jetta or extended cab truck? Of course my eye is drawn to the high end cars as well: Audi, Lexus SUV, and BMW.

One of the smartest things I ever read about finances was in (I think) Rich Dad/ Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. He said if American’s just changed the way they bought cars they would all be rich. In other words if we didn’t buy too much car and finance it we’d be much better off

Something else I have to consider when making a car choice is my faith in Christ. He calls us to not conform to the pattern of this world. We are to be different. Saint Peter says we are aliens and strangers in the world. I think this should inform all of my decisions in life; from where to live, what to do, to what kind of car to drive.

So Audi it is right?
