Our family is in a similar situation. Our 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan is a V6 with 136,000 miles, just in time for the transmission to go bad soon. It is 2 miles to mother's night job, the only two children still at home take the bus to school, and the shopping mall is 10 miles away on the other side of town. I am the only cyclist in the family. Holiday visits require 3-4 hours on the interstate with no direct bus connections. My wife and I both can drive a 5 speed trans.
