I was thinking about Jeep drivers and the whole duck thing. But what about you Kia Sportage drivers? You got a club? Is there a Secret Brotherhood of Chevy Traxers?

I’ve been begging my wife for a minivan. You can fit whole 8x4 sheets of material in them! Wanna buy a tree? Lay that thing down! Friend moving a small couch? Smash that baby in there! Anyone who thinks a pickup truck is a better work truck than a van just is afraid. Pickup trucks are really only good for bulk materials like mulch/dirt/stone/etc. Most of them can’t fit a sheet of plywood without propping it up. Minivans can hold like 10 sheets flat with the added bonus of keeping them out of the elements.
My wife and I were in the market for a new car and she faught me pretty hard on the Minivan. We wanted to go with a Honda and we needed something with a 3rd row because of kids and family. So we were between the Pilot and the Odyssey. We went to the dealer and climbed around inside of each car and pressed all the buttons to get an idea of what they are like. As we were leaving she was like “God Damnit… I love the Odyssey”
And that’s how we became Minivan people.
They’re are times when I don’t even need 10ft lumber or 4x8 plywood but I buy some just to rub it in while an f150 is trying to figure out how to strap theirs down.
Toss on a tow hitch and boom even more practicality. What’s that, an Odyssey with 6 kids and a trailer full of camping gear?
Need to borrow my riding lawnmower? Sure!
The only reason I’m seriously considering replacing mine is because Honda can’t seem to make a range extended plug in version.
