My gosh, that is gorgeous! The Metris is basically a cargo van with seats forced into it, but the V-Class... Wow!

@George-K I take it you've never ridden in a limo? Rear-facing seats are fine, it's just those flimsy little seats in the back of station wagons that aren't allowed anymore.

@Klaus something like the V-Class could get me to seriously consider getting a van again, though Karla is pushing for a Mustang or Charger.

Steer clear of the Charger.

Problem with the muscle cars is the have shit visibility.

Get the Mustang, at least it comes in a convertible. Then you can see.

Zowie, that's beautiful. I'm glad you went for the black -- much snazzier than the brown.

You'ms moving on up, kiddo!

I rest my case.

Good lord.

@klaus Beautiful! I think you will enjoy it.

In regard to the rear facing seats - I assume they will flip the other way like in a train so they can face forward if you want?

[Klaus]

Bought it today.

@taiwan_girl the seats can be flipped in either direction. Everything is mounted on rails. It's also very simple (but requires some heavy lifting) to remove seats. We'll probably remove one seat most of the time, such that we have more space for stuff.

Very nice, Klaus! It should serve you well.

Klaus, I forgot to mention that I had a nice chat with your in-laws and told them about your extended family trips. Your mother-in-law and I really hit it off. She's liking the recipes I gave her for treats to bake as travel snacks to eat in your new car.

She and your father-in-law are really excited to travel together with you. Maybe you should see about a luggage rack for the roof of your new vehicle.

Yes. It's from "National Lampoon's Vacation," a movie from the late 1980s when Chevy Chase was still funny.
