Well I thank you all for your valuable input. Here is where we stand with the excuses that back them up.
-She is in love with the 4-runner. So we will be refinancing the 4-runner which will drop our payments by $200 a month.
-I am paying off my xB, (The trailer show queen), this will save us another $300 a month approx.
-In order to remain active in the life I have grown accustomed to, Scion car shows and road trips with Scion etc, I am going to trade in the Vibe and pick up an xD. After doing the numbers and such, I will end up financing $8000 and have a new car, while paying less for two cars than what I was paying for the 4-runner monthly.
Now everyone in the household is happy and I retain a vehicle capable of still towing the trailer queen when necessary.
The addition of the xD will keep me immersed in the culture, keep me happy and provide me with a vehicle capable of excellent mpg's.
Not the ultimate outcome to this drama, but certainly a good compromise.
