Are there any mini vans that can tow? I have no clue, I'm just asking.
Yes. I remember that was one of the options on the Honda Odyssey EX.
Good to know, I know at the time, the car we got was the best value (and best gas milage) that could tow, but wasn't a pick up truck. I didn't remember if vans could tow. We got it 6 years ago.
While we are on the subject of car driver stereotypes.
I feel really bad for saying this, but if not on the nest then where? I've been cut off or almost hit by a disproportionate number of Asian women in recent weeks. I absolutely do not believe in racial stereotyping but omg, Asian women need to stop cutting me off or I'm going to start thinking its true...
It's the same Asian woman, following you around in different cars cutting you off.
LoL! That is the most PC explanation I can come up with
I will say that when I have issues with SUV drivers, it's usually commandeered by women in too large sunglasses, perfectly dyed hair, and a general I am the shit attitude. Usually by themselves and occasionally with Mary Kay bumper stickers.
This times a thousand! Add on to that usually those obnoxious stick figures (and if you ever need a reason NOT to put those on your car, watch Dexter, season 4 with John Lithgow as the creepiest creep who ever creeped and tell me you aren't convinced) and a Jesus fish. The Jesus fish are big here in Jesusland.
Can we all agree that if you drive an extended cab giant pickup you are an asshole and quite probably require trucknuts?

Irish what do you have that can tow? Our current vehicle cannot tow our boat. I thought we looked at minivans that could (and didn't find one with the right weight/towing capacity), but I could be wrong. We haven't really even narrowed down our list yet, as we're still awhile away from making a decision.

Dude, let's talk about pick ups, shall we??
Because those are the real fuck everyone else on the road assholes. Unless that bitch has actually mud all over it or tools, lumber, etc in the back, I will assume that your dick is tiny.
If you have a military sticker on your windshield and your tires are taller than a toddler, I will assume one needs a magnifying glass and tweezers to find your penis and that you're an uberdouche.

Part 1 - nodding along.
Part 2 - LOL. No. We don't NEED an extended cab truck, but we have one because it works best for our needs out of our other options so judge if you must. My sister on the other hand...she NEEDS an extended cab truck. Not sure how else she'd manage her life running a horse farm with two car-seated kids. She had an SUV for a while, but it was wildly impractical for stuff like picking up a load of grain or hay.
ETA: Didn't see habbsies post before. I don't think they have an AF sticker on the new truck. I know she had a "Air Force Wife, Hardest Job in the Military" sticker on the old SUV as a joke, but I am positive that 99% of people had no idea it was meant to be silly and just thought she was dipshit. But my BIL may in fact have a small penis. I've never asked.
Can we all agree that if your car is ugly and cheap you suck at life?
It depends. I read in a book on Class in America that one sure-fire way to spot "new money" is that their car is nicer than their house. So if you're driving around a 20-year old beat up Toyota Carolla because you aren't really a "car person" and could give a shit about power steering, but you live in a gorgeous 1935 home with hardwood floors and built-ins in every room, IMO, you definitely do NOT suck at life.
What is the verdict for a 15 year old Corolla and a pretty cool apartment? Half suck?
As an aside, I've never seen a minivan that had a decent amount of cargo space in the back. It was stroller or groceries but not both.
Well, just to prove I am not some evil minivan hater, I can tell you that the rental I had this summer fit 4 large suitcases in the cargo area with the 3rd row up. It would have definitely fit a double BOB and a few bags of groceries. That being said, I would never buy one because of the major road noise. I also have a weird thing about Chryslers. Just don't like em.
Yeah but if I didn't need a third row, I wouldn't give up my baby SUV or I'd have bought a sedan.
That's always been so odd to me, the Oh but you can put up the third row for more room. Dude, I'm likely to need the third row specifically when I need more cargo space. (not directed at you but at car makers.)[/quote]
No no. What I was saying was the 3rd row was up, like kids were sitting in it and I could still fit the big stroller and a bunch of other cargo. I realize now that "up" can mean different things. I meant vertical.
Even if you don't live on Wisteria Lane but drive a Corolla, you don't "suck at life." Please tell me this is just a tongue and check question and Soudnaicantrberherwholename isn't a twatwaffle to the 10th degree?
DH was all very adamant about the 4 wheel drive on the wagon and how great it is in snow and how I will never get stuck and blah, blah, blah. We got it when LB was a few months old and havent had any damn snow the last 3 winters.

I think our Equinox is a crossover. It's a pretty big piece of shit, so it might be the worst thing ever.
But I'm driving that piece of shit until it dies, and my husband is driving my car from COLLEGE (2 door Civic from 2001) until it dies too. We have shitty cars. I'm okay with this, because it means I can buy more shoes due to the fact that we own both shitty cars.

Dude, this whole thread is about some bullshit so don't get snappy with me. I'm trying to bring some levity to this nonsense.
You prolly drive a cheap ugly ass car.
Of course I do! Have you read nothing I have written for the past 3 hours?

Lol, she is being funny.
Okay but SBP was actually giving a dissertation on when one sucks at life so I got confused if we were actually taking this seriously. Lol.

This is also colored by geography. There is no reason for the majority of college-aged frat boys in a fucking giant city to have a truck like this. I know those mofos are not taking them to the horse farms in Versailles.

I'd call the Equinox an suv, no?
I'm talking about those things that look like minivans, but are really SUV's. But not. I'm thinking things like the Honda Crosstour and the Mazda CX9.
(We looked at a used CX9 when considering minivans... it would have made sense, except the second and third rows don't fold out of the way or come out. WTF? Who thinks having a big vehicle that's ONLY useful for hauling people, and neverevereverever stuff is a smart idea?)
