My wife is the same way...but that doesnt change the reality that Minivans are practical and great! But people 'hate' them because its cool to hate them. Not me man. Not me.
Just like station-wagons. I love 'em.
My Jeep Patriot was awesome. I remember someone once throwing shade:
"You know that thing is just a glorified Station-wagon right?"
Um. I dont know that its even 'glorified.' Its got 4 doors, a hatch, low centre of gravity, AWD...its glued to the road in the worst conditions. Whats the problem?
I loved that car. It could've used a little more juice, but other than that...it was awesome!
