Does it have any of the new safety features that help you not get into accidents? Of course if other cars don't you are still at risk.
Only if you pay for an addition to their house!
Yep on the collision stuff and yes on the addition to the house - even without another dog!
The Sienna has lane detection alert, radar, automatic headlights, blind spot indicators, backup camera, and side sensors that tell you if a car or pedestrian is on the sides of you when you pull out of a parking spot or some such. The Rav had most of that, so we've learned to listen to the car but never lose sight of the fact that we are responsible for driving smarter than the car.
@JaeG wow, things are really happening now!
Happy b-day to your niece (lots of birthdays here all of a sudden)

Glad to hear the kids are getting excited about their new living space!
What cute babies, they're really starting to look
real now
ETA: sorry about your grandmother's health issue. Best wishes all goes well for her tomorrow!
She summed it all up perfectly for me!
It was 40 degrees up in Billings today, and a just little chillier here I guess - something like 36 I think Jenny said. Kendra is down hard with a cold, and she's miserable so everyone in the house is miserable. Poor baby. Katie had it last week. I'll be keeping them overnight on Thursday and taking them to school on Friday, then picking them up after school. The kids both have medical appointments in Billings super early in the morning, so rather than leave the house at 6:30, drop the kids off, then head up there, they are just going to stay at the Hilltop there on the hospital grounds. They both have appointments at the Pain Clinic up there for their backs. Kendra is adorable and wonderful and a pure delight. She's also he11 on backs. Mine is bad, Ken's is going, and Kenny's and Jenny's are totally shot. I think I need to play the lottery and get them a disabled access van, because none of us can afford one on our own! ( could have had the access seat put into the Sienna because it's set up for that, but that's several more thousand dollars so that was out. Wouldn't do the kids any good anyway.
The week before we got our car, Tam got a beautiful Toyota Highlander. It's a 2006, and in immaculate shape. One owner, and owned by a retired Colonel who lives in Cody and happens to be a lodge brother of Ken's. We didn't find that out until after she'd bought it. The dealership gave her every maintenance record that Ron had, and Ken says Ron is a stickler for taking care of things. I think you can see Tam's Highlander in one of the photos I posted of the Sienna...it's parked right behind it. Tam was hoping the old 98 Plymouth Breeze would get her through until next year, after she'd had the house for a year, but that doggone Breeze was falling apart, and the transmission is going out again. They started working on her roof on Thursday. She's hoping they get it done between storms.
Beautiful day in Billings today! Bright sunshine, little wind, and 40 degrees! Of course, that meant that it was slushy and the parking lots were icy as all get out, and then there's the beautiful MUD! My car looks like it has freckles. "Get white" Ken said. "It'l be cooler in summer" Ken said. Yeah. Had the car since Wednesday and it already needs a bath. And we've already put 489 miles on it since then. It had 21 when we bought it.
We're off this weekend after the kids pick up Kendra and Katie. Heading for Casper for a short meeting, then going up to Sheridan for 2 days. We might as well move to Sheridan - it'd be cheaper. But there's no way Kenny, Jenny or Tammy will drive over the mountains, so that's out. I'd never see them. I'm getting so tired, but it's almost over.
