Totally in agreement.. there's no reason you can't keep your toy, with just one kid.  No big deal.

At the risk of this being an "I agree" post, well, I agree :-)

We have one son, now 2-1/2 years old, and he gets driven around in my 
wife's Toyota Corolla 99% of the time, and in my '98 M3 sedan when all 
three of us head somewhere. We have yet to go somewhere where either 
vehicle wasn't able to handle the job. We even took a 3 hour trip to Clear 
Lake (from the SF Bay Area) with the M3 quite full: me, Kim, Nikolas and 
Kim's mom. Worked out well, and no one minded when I "enjoyed" myself on 
the twisty mountain road .

Exactly.
