My car is too small for the seven of us, and we don't ever go anywhere together because we can't all fit. I would love to get something new and big enough to haul ALL of my crew around. And if we're splurging, it would have a port for my iPod, power everything, and the whole DVD set up. And it would come with a kick-ass warranty. For the next twenty years. On everything.
