Minivan.
The Momma Rocks found this hilarious rockin’ video. My minivan looks like the bottom of a dumpster, not a “swagger wagon”. Oh, how I miss my little “Seat” sportscar with the spoiler and sun roof…..

My van has chipped paint on the outside, and everything else on the inside. I choose to think about it as an “anti-theft policy.”
When we return home to Israel, B”H in two more years, I made it very clear to the family that Abba will be driving a van. I, on the other hand, will be shopping for a motorscooter or motorcycle. Â Preferably one that has enough room to shlep home some groceries, but not much more. Â And it won’t have a floor to leave your pretzel crumbs or apple cores on. Â Along with shedding my galut, I hope to shed my suburban carpooling around.
Tell me Imas, will I be the first frum “old-lady” Ima showing up for motorcycle driving lessons in Israel?
Yeah. There was a time when I said that I would NOT become a mini-van driving soccer mom.
What’s that sound? Oh, Right.
G-d Laughing. (Miriyummy hears it, too).
oh do i ever love this post! everyone always resists the minivan, but i love mine! gross crumbs and cute projects *everywhere* included! 🙂 i’m thinking i’d like a photo of the motorcycle (in two years) please! 🙂
If Hashem blesses me with successful aliyah (again) in two years and a motorcycle, then I will be more than happy to provide the pic.
Shabbat Shalom everyone!
One upon a time we had what here in Israel is called the settlers’ minivan, the Mitsubishi L300. We called her Yoko (doesn’t everyone name their cars?). I loved her dearly, probably because I didn’t have a driver’s license then and didn’t have to maneuver her around. But she fit all 4 kids, plus friends, plus endless empty packets of Bamba and empty bottles of water. I did love her, but don’t miss her one bit!
Ima2seven, can I have a ride on your tustus when you get here?
We used to call those vans “settler mobiles”. I guess you could own one and live in Raanana too. You know I will be giving you a tustus ride. : )
