An Ode to the Cost of Gas, and Why I Love My Car

So, have you ever wondered if it is possible to fit 3 adults 3 children and 2 1/2 months worth of groceries into a Honda Pilot. Well, I am here to tell you it is.

Beefy in the back with all the "stuff" - "AM" was behind the camera and I was in the driver's seat

This was not in fact tested solely for the purposes of social experimentation. It just so happens that the grocery store of choice for budget conscious families is about 25 miles away. Incidentally it is also the same store that my first "Locking the Keys in the Car" incident took place. But, I digress. So, because of the cost of gas and the not at all close proximity of the store, when I mentioned that I was going on my monthly grocery trip a couple of my friends asked if they could tag along. Of course we all got more than we expected, and we were squished in there pretty tight, but it (and we) all fit.

And that my friends, is what I call good engineering.
