5 SEATS....

This is not meant in any way to be a sob story. It is simply another

"Jagged Little Pill" rant, on how cramped I feel in my life at this moment. I try to be quite humble as I know the Lord has many great things in store for me.I am grateful for the things he has, and continues to provide for me and my family,sometimes in ways I could never have imagined!!!

So, its like this. I drive a car with 5 seats. An older model Gold Toyota Camry, I like to call it the "cam-shaft" Toyotas I think are the best car ever made next to Hondas if you ride a car super hard like I do. To me, mine is a snazzy little car - dark tint,spoiler and a fancy sparkly Jesus Fish highlighting the back window that I applied to spruce it up.Now the inside may be messy and missing a few things here or there,radio doesn't work,small dings and dents outside, etc. but all in all I like it. I own it. ITS MINE !!

Problem is, I just had twins. This makes for 5 children and 2 parents-7 people, 5 seats. Now my husband does have a little 5 seater Accord, not as cute as mine (shocked?!) but its runs, we just havent registered it yet! Anytime we wish to travel somewhere as a family it becomes a nightmare. Do you rock,paper,scissors for who has to stay home? Do you lap it like the good ol' 1970's making a virtual clown car and pray to sweet Jesus for traveling mercy and no police to stop you? Do you take both cars and eat ramen noodles for dinner that day to afford filling them both up and cross your fingers that your husband wont get pulled over for "ridin dirty"? Dilemmas....I am not a fan of mini vans being that I still am more rock & roll than soccer & bowl... (no offense to you mini van drivers Im just more of a crossover suv chick I think)....but trading the cam-shaft in on a 7 seater anything is not in the cards, for many reasons.

It seems blaming things on this "economy" has become "the new black" so I wont go there (even though it does play a small part in it all). Small cramped spaces full of people give me anxiety ,dont get me started on my apartment...So I am thinking of inventive new ways of transport. Heck,maybe I will have an idea that could save GM,Chrysler and the 3rd one? Im thinking BIG here folks !

First idea: Trike Motorcycle with double side cars.

Now I wish I could draw graphics here on Blogger but you will have to envision it- A trike motorcycle holds 3 people,its 3 wheeled literally like a tricycle. Now, attach one double two seater side car to each side and voila!

7 seater.

Next: Smart Car Train.

Remember Weebles? They had the little cars that attached by bumper hooks and you could add as many as you liked.Each fit 2 little weeble people. I figure we can install bumper hooks on the smart cars and I can just attach each car depending on how many people are coming.Smart cars are definitely a small space though...

Finally: Horses

Low on gas,The kids can ride like I used too right?No license needed. The bike lane should be accommodating I would hope in a diverse city like Phoenix. Also, being that Arizona was a major part of the wild wild west (Tombstone) I think this idea might catch on like wildfire! We could attach a bag to the tail for you know, as to not smell/dirty up the city. Maybe put up a little hitching post next to the bike rack at work and at the apartment complex? Get some rubberized tread horseshoes and we are off !!! This is my favorite idea so far, I will keep y'all posted.
