Mini Van vs SUV

[arkess7]

i prefer SUV to a mini van........mini vans remind me of this radio show a few years back in the morning and they had this one bit called the married man and it started out some guy singing.."married man married man driving in his mini van" and it was so funny some of the stuff they would say LOL!! youd have to hear it to understand....my husband has an SUV ....me i just got a 2005 mustang in june and im in love....i figured with only one kid why not live a little

SUV for me. I have a Tahoe 4wd. Live on a lake and have a boat/jetskis, so I need something that can easily haul them. Also compete in dog agility, so I travel all over with my two Aussies, all the gear I need, and my dog friends that travel with me. So yeah it fits me well. Also do a ton of over the mountain pass driving in the winter. Did cost me $65 bucks to fill up the other day.....Oh well its the price I pay for the lifestyle that I enjoy. Sure a minivan would probably do just as well, but I am a single 28yr old male, don't think the chicks would dig that LOL

Me I got the beastin Dodge Ram van. The conversion type. I love it. It has the extented roof so you can practially stand in it. Great with 3 kids, and when they are in the back the bikering like they like to do, it isnt as bad, because they are way back there. There is also a "real" t.v. in there too, so they can watch movies or what not. It does suck down some gas but really not to bad. I don't think I could ever go back to anything smaller. Next vehicle will be a conversion van as well, hopefully with just as many pluses as this one has.

Yes I also was just curious who the former member was who had started this thread from last year is all.

Thank you, Calamity...yes, I remember Harry (KOW) and enjoyed reading his forecasts/synopsises here at S2K!

I had a Dodge Caravan when my boys were young. We could load up all their stuff and thing. It was great to go camping in or a day at the beach.......MGC

Someone at the office told me, a few weeks ago, that they could no
longer afford to fill-up their SUV at the gas pump - I thought, hmmmm...
it takes about $40 to fill up my old beloved road demon '92 Lumina,
affectionately known as "The Luminator", from needle on "Empty".
Good grief! I used to own an SUV (remember the Mazda "Navajo"?)
and, I loved it - but, I couldn't afford to run it, now!

My simple Honda Civic (smallest engine Honda makes, ie "glorified lawnmower", as I call it) needed muffler work yesterday. CarX needed it for a few hours so I hiked a few blocks to do some shopping. Passing several used car dealerships.

For sale were.....

One Hummer, only $39,999....

Several SUV's......

And lots of Jetta's, with MPG tags hanging below every rear view mirror. Funny, I didn't see these displayed on the Hummer or SUV's!

PS - I have renewed appreciation for my car's dinky engine. I am getting about 35 MPG in the city. So what if I have to, while merging onto the Interstate and/or pass a semi, A. turn off the A/C and B. downshift into 4th!
