Holy crap.... you know how that happens, right?

After having three I would certainly hope so, or someone is just a bit more than somewhat gullible.

I see your point...if you're shopping for construction equipment or some shit. Access wouldn't be hard if you had to move a few shopping bags out the way.

Get an SUV / CUV and keep all of your shit out of the rain, and have more room and / or seating options.

True.

Ridgeline would be more trouble than it's worth for a mom who is trying to maintain control of a baby/kid and get shit out of the comparment in the bed. Minivan is really where it's at for kids and the new ones can fold down all the chairs/take em out and you can haul a bike easy in one.

Normally I would reply with something like, "I'm not sure, can you show me?" but for some reason that doesn't seem appropriate right now because Audrey is going to read this in a minute.

There will be no #4 but if their is, we're calling him Jesus.

I looked at a Toyota mini van today as well as the Venza.. Kinda in love with the Venza. Also looked at the Mazda 5 which is nice but seems a bit smallish when you sit in the back seat as an adult. Venza + AWD = about 36K... ouchie

The woman's boss just got a Kia Sorento. Seems like a decent rig, and he likes it. AWD, V6, 3rd row seating is about worthless, but just leave 'em folded down and you have a flat cargo area. He's getting ~22 mpg with mixed driving.

Nigga gas is 3.60 a gallon here.

If I was to get a Minivan, I'd def. go with the Grand Caravan. I rented one of these and def. the most fun I've ever had in a minivan. Based on an older Mercedes platform, the thing drives as close to a german car as it gets in the minivan dept.
