Major vehicular changes, Prius, Sienna, Armada...

Well, I'm finally (in shock) doing it, I'm buying new cars !
I'm just too busy (and tired) these days to keep the maintenance up on the older vehicles that they deserve.
It's still generally MUCH cheaper to keep the old vehicles going, but I just can't afford the time anymore, so it's down to the old tradeoffs:
Time
vs.
Money
vs.
Convenience.

So, I'm doing the following.
1. Buying a Toyota Prius hybrid (50-60 MPG!) car.
2. Buying a Toyota Sienna mini-van.
3. Selling the "legendary black beast of arrrgh" black '83 bronco around the Fall.
4. Selling the Crown Victoria '95 as soon as have the Mini-van (or trade-in).
5. Next year, plan to buy a Nissan Armada to replace the '86 (red) Bronco.
6. Next year, sell the red Bronco.
7. Keep the Bandit (motorcycle)
