My friend, and fellow dad over at Dad of Divas is on a quest for a free minivan. Although there’s a lot of work involved, as well as the possibility of failure, he provides an excellent example of thinking outside the box and working with what you’ve got.
“What I am offering is to try a trade up project for a new (or very gently used – preferably new) Toyota Sienna… I am looking for people to offer trade ups that have some value to others.”
Chris is looking to turn this…
Into this…

Best of luck, Chris!
And remember, you are not alone…

I’ve heard of trade-ups like this. i hope it works for him! Two friends have Toyota Siennas, and they both love them. We carpooled to grad school in them; they’re nice vans, very comfortable, lots of space.
