A "stay at home mom" is an urban myth. They are "taxi mom's" - even in
the first few years (the pediatrician will become a primary
destination). If tyou NEED two cars running, you NEED to own three.
Then you can get into specail purpose vehicles (SLC, SDL, etc.)

Although if my wife gets pregnant and becomes a stay at home mom
there'll be no real need for a third vehicle.
Silliest thing I've ever heard! (Says the man with a dozen
vehicles lurking around his house.) You'll need it eventually,
and the supply could have dried up by then!
