I have two fuel efficient cars. I don't drive far, and the gas prices don't really hurt me, yet. But once you have more then one kid you HAVE to get a bigger, less fuel efficient car because of US carseat regulations. In most compact cars only one car seat fits in the back seat, maybe two. But if you want three kids (or accidently end up with three kids) you're stuck with a stupid mini-van or SUV. I have nothing wrong with the carseat regulations, I think they're fantastic for kids, but hard on the family budget.

I remember the president's ride! It wasn't the animatronic animals one, it was right on main street in Cali, on the right hand side when you entered. I was 13 when I went, and my grandparents made me go through it, and I remember thinking it was creepy. Is that really gone?
