Introducing...

THE BEAST...

Kevin got the bug and started looking for our new family vehicle. He found one in town but it wasn't what we really wanted/needed and it wasn't in very good condition, so we passed but he kept looking. He found a couple that he really wanted/needed. At least they fit the criteria: 15 passenger, diesel engine, good condition. We looked and he picked this one, older but fewer miles. (Actually, the other one wasn't there so I'm not sure why it was still posted on the dealers website.) Anyway, it really is in great condition with low miles, and for a diesel that means we have lots more use left. The kids enjoy having a ton more room. I am happy that it handles better than I thought it would for its size. I am sad that I don't have power windows, locks, cruise control and CD player, but really those are just "nice to have" items and we will be just fine in the new bus. Wave if you see us in The Beast, a.k.a. Harvey. You'll know when we are around because you can hear us coming, especially if I'm backing up because it beeps.
