my wife and young son and i have done fine until now with one daily driver
and one vanagon.  I only used the van occiasinally around town and for
trips.  now, our commute schedule changed, and we both need to drive ~10
miles every day.  i'm fond of the van and i don't want to sell it, but i
also don't like the idea of the added wear and tear of driving it everyday.
i want it to last forever.  plus, a few times a year it needs
repairs/upgrades that keep it out of service for a few days.

so... should i buy a 3rd car (an older golf or something) for commuting, or
keep that money for additional van repairs and the occasional rental?  the
3rd car would have the bonus of better fuel economy, but only for a few
thousand miles per year.

i can't decide.
