So while we always had plenty of vehicles to go around, none of them worked perfectly—or even well, to be honest. This often added a "high adventure" element to family trips. We've had a minivan overheat in the desert, a truck catch fire by a lake, and much more. So listen in as we share our family's automobile accidents, explain how we addressed them, and tell you how to avoid them.
