I've been fighting getting a minivan for 2 years now, I stopped at the Honda dealership yesterday and took a good look at the new Odyssey. By far the best looking minivan on the market, they are trying hard to make it not look like a minivan. The touring model is stacked with features...$46,000 for a minivan though!

They seem to be selling the shit out of those things though.

That's like being the tallest midget.

It's always funny reading the comments from the guys who never outgrew their boyish need to try and impress people with their cars. I was the same way many years ago, but once I became a man I no longer care what other people think of my choice of vehicles. I've owned a minivan for almost 30 years now. I'm on my third one. I get about 200K on them and get a new one. Mine have all been Chrysler products and very low cost to maintain. For the knuckle dragging macho men who seem to think it's not manly to have a minivan, maybe some day you'll actually grow up and become a man instead of a boy who needs to impress people.

I would like to point out to you that the caption on that humorous image, which some people may refer to as a "meme" from time to time, is in fact incorrect. The correct quote from the film "Stripes" is "Lighten up Francis", which was delivered by Sgt. Hulka and directed to Francis, who preferred to go by the moniker "Psycho". As that quote is written, it makes it appear that Francis is the one telling someone else to "Lighten Up", which is inferred through the use of a full stop at the end of the quote and "Francis" in smaller font which would indicate that the quote should be attributed to Francis.

Additionally, the photo, or "meme" as it were, is quite confusing since the person in the photo is not Francis, rather it is Sgt Hulka himself, but Sgt Francis never appeared to have much of a sense of humour in the film. I imagine that Sgt Hulka was told to "lighten up" from time to time, given his general demeanour, but that interaction was never portrayed in the film itself.

you are welcome.

wife wants one, every time we take a trip in the MDX its just a pain in the ass. With two kids, an 85lb dog, bags and all the other crap you have to take on trips, a midsize suv just sucks. Ive said it many times before, SUVs are highly over rated. I need new tires and brakes on my car now anyway...probably a good time to go ahead and ditch it instead of spending another $2000 on maintenance.
