Have I gone totally off the deep end?
I live about 20 - 25 minutes from the airport and have 4 people coming in to visit on Tuesday. One is retired from Continental airlines so two of them will be flying standby. Because of this they may or may not be able to get on the same flight as the other couple. I'm figuring that there's no way I'm going to fit five people (including myself) along with all their luggage in the TCH so I'll have to drive my Explorer. I actually find myself hoping they can't make the flight. This way I'll have to take two trips to the airport, but now I'll be able to use the Camry.
Am I losing it? Does anyone else look for excuses to drive this car?
BTW, two trips in the Camry uses less gas than one in the Explorer.

It sounds very logical to me, Orcone. Two trips in the TCH will be better for the environment and your budget than one in the Explorer. Now, how will you know in advance which vehicle to bring???

Explorer...I mean they're you guests! They come all this way to see you(don't know how far they live from you 
). They paid a couple hundred - thousand to see you, I'm sure you can use $30 of gas or something.
