Why? Right tool for the right job. I can pack more crap in my Grand Caravan than my sister can in her Suburban. It won't tow as much, true, but I never tow anything heavy. In the meantime it gives me mid-20's and is more comfortable to sit in and drive. Plus it cost nothing to buy used and is cheap to insure.

My last minivan was a killer! It had a swapped in 3.8L (3.8L was not available in the SWB caravan), ported, polished and match-ported heads, 3 angle valve job, larger valves, 2.5" exhaust all the way back, LSD, CAI, lowerd 3" in the rear, 2" in the front, Eibach prings, Koni adjustables all around as well as 4 wheel discs. I'd run with 4.6L mustangs all day in a straight line and corner better!!

If I get a second vehicle it will most likly be a mini van

I really really want to take our old 2000 Villager, do a desert-camo paint job, jack it up on some flat-black wheels with the largest offroad tires I can fit, install a push-bar, auxiliary lights...maybe even hang a spare tire & gas can off the back. And then rename it the Pillager.

A Mini-van is the new black.

Tiger Woods can afford better.

ZOMG best idea EVAR...me likey!!!

I love my Ford Freestar mini-van.

It is a great tool for light towing, Home Depot runs, carrying "the gang" and camping out at the track. And it can be used just like a "normal" car and gets low 20s to boot.

If it got wrecked or stolen, I'd buy another one right away.

I used to say that....

...hahahahahahaha

I had two Chevrolet Venture minivans.

Yes, they both sucked big time, and I felt like a loser, as all the soccer mom's with bleached white teeth and blonde hair blew me away in their Suburban's and Escalade's; all while on their cell phones.

But I was able to haul major furniture purchases, a cord of firewood, bicycles, tool boxes, separate the kids by rows, and even catch a nap in the back as I traveled cross country. I was even able to squeeze seven of us in the van for short trips. Just those in the way back were uncomfortable, but not me.

If someone would just build a sports car van.......I keep posting this picture too.....

I have a mini-minivan (Kia Rondo) and all the guys with "real" minivans pick on me. Never saw that coming.

Despite the stigma mini vans make a lot of sense and for most real lives are more useful and cheaper than an SUV.

I used to have a nondescript light green colored Windstar - impossible to get pulled over for speeding in that car - great for long trip.

Now I have a full sized van - take the seats out and it can swallow so much stuff it's crazy. Seats in, it can carry the entire family and lots and lots of stuff. Gas mileage and parking it are downsides.

Dude, I'd wear that.

Mini vans are the Miata of the utility world. They do everything better than most vehicles of their type and everybody who doesn't drive one thinks you're a girl if you do.

...which bothers me not in the slightest.

You guys tell yourselves whatever you want...

It's still a mini-van.

Take the coolest guy on earth (Billy GIbbons), put him in a min-van and he's a goober.

I told my wife a long time ago; I will never own a mini-van, nor will I purchase one for you. Deal with it. I'd rather have gay sex than drive a minivan.

Hey, you started the namecalling and stereotyping, not us.

I'm stealing this to use as a signature somewhere. Perfect.

Please. Fool? Dumbass maybe, but not a fool.
