Thanks to my laziness == lack of money -- and our wonderful mayor's 500% increase in automobile registration costs, my wife is pushing to get rid of some vehicles. I always envisioned us with a van, a sedan and a Jeep. She would like to see a van and something else.

Right now each vehicle we have has a problem. I have the skill and knowledge to fix them but I don't have the time or the money for parts but that doesn't mean I'm not prepared to deal with the issues and I have prioritized them in my head.

The way to resolve the problem is 1) for me to get us out of this neighborhood and 2) to get rid of all the current vehicles and replace them with a van and a sedan. They say the way to a happy life is a happy wife. She would be happier if I would just get rid of 1/3 of our junk. It would pain me at first but I'd get over it and be happier because she would be happier.
