DH and I are arguing about my van .... 2003 VW Eurovan that I love to pieces. It's now been classified as a classic car and I plan on keeping it indefinitely even though it has 205,000 miles on it. I know it sounds crazy, but I really love this van. I have traveled with the kids in it, have ripped out the floors and replaced the carpeting with vinyl hardwood ... It's my baby.
I have dreams of having the engine/transmission replaced and getting a cool 70's paint job done on it. I've even found the mechanic and artist to do the work.
The problem?
Money.
LOL. No surprise.
DH basically says that he doesn't want to invest the money into a new engine/tranny and would rather buy a new (to us) van when my baby dies. I'd rather invest that same money in the van. He thinks I'm being irrational. I point to his car that he "had" to have and ask him if that was rational ... you know how the conversation ends.
So ... help me feel better. What are you irrational about? And. Should I get to keep my van? (only yes votes will be tallied!!!)
