Mini vans are better than any other type of car except for sports cars...IMO.
I once pulled up to an EQ move with a minivan and all the guys were giving me a smug look on their face saying "like that thing is going to help at all." They weren't being so smug after I fit a whole sectional in the back of it with just a foot or two sticking out the back. When the seats are removed or stowed, minivans have a lot more space than any SUV.
Other things that fit in the back of my minivan include:- Upright piano
- Two dressers at the same time
- A whole sectional
- 13 foot steel 4x4 with only 3 feet hanging out the back
- A full size mattress
We had to upgrade this year due to an increase in family size but I honestly miss the old minivan. Welcome to the club as I still consider myself an emeritus member."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Truthfully I want a Squareback and a 21 Window that match or compliment each other. I told Gidget that today with the lotto hitting $83 million that if I won I am buying a bus for our family to roll in. How sweet to have the fam rolling to church on Sunday in either of these?

When I worked for Mazda the guys knew I loved VW's and gave me a 21 Window Bus Hot Wheels that I mounted to the top of my desktop monitor. It was sweet."Nobody listens to Turtle."-Turtlesigpic
