re: If you drive a minivan have you given up on life?

Not if you have to roll like this..

Yeah I'll just stick to my Suburban.

You've gone off the rails now. This was a thread that you started to show how cool you are, but now it's backfired and not gone as planned. It's really funny to watch you find out that you aren't nearly as cool as you thought.

with the efficiency savings, i upgraded my wife's breasts.

My wife and I don't own one, but my empty nester parents keep buying them. They were very popular in the 90's, and are extremely practical vehicles for families.

Most CUV's today are really just minivans disguised as an SUV. The one caveat being that 3rd-row models really don't work with older kids and adults. That's where the minivan has a big advantage.

At the end of the day, family cars should be a conveyance. They need to be as practical as possible, but humans are idiots and buy things for status.

Said we'd never get one. Had a 3rd kid. Sold the 4 runner and bought a Honda odyssey. That thing has made life 10x easier with the kids. Don't hate playa

Yes

So wait, I'm finding out I'm not cool because there are people here defending their driving a minivan?

How does that work?

I'd drive one if I wasn't so insecure. I rented one once because it was the only option at the time with satellite radio. It was nice. They overcompensate for the ridiculousness of the ride with all kinds of features.

Due to my insecurity, though, I'll probably end up with a more inconvenient (for kids) Suburban or something.

I can think of a couple of reasons he would drive a minivan.

Chief among them is that he doesn't give a frick what you think. I tend to agree.
