That part that grinds me is it is someone's work that is off today. My work is caught up theirs is not.

I work in parts, the busiest weekend of the year is the weekend where a lot of accidents or breakdowns happen so we sell more parts.

Men who give in to the wives and get minivans. My neighbor, a Giants fan, just got neutered when he traded his BMW in for a Honda Odyssey...ugly one. His wife already has an SUV too!



They have just two kids too, it's the common wife argument..."but what if someone else wants to come along!?"

Really, how often does that happen? And why can't other people drive themselves?

The new Honda Odyssey is probably one of the ugliest cars/vans ever made. It is horrible.

Once when I went to get some parts for my 4Runner me and the boy sat in a fully loaded Toyota Sienna; I mean it was nice. I felt like I was in my living room. I could never bring myself to get one though.

I'll second that, and I hate that commercial for it too, where they compare it to the cougar/jaguar/w.e. that animal is, like a minivan is some kind of badass. If I'm thinking sleek cars that compare to an animal like that, I'm thinking sports car. Minivans conjure up images of dudes giving into their wives and buying a practical car that all 3 or more of their kids can ride in.

EDIT: Cpayne with the vid. GJ.

I thought the Odyssey commercial was funny...


I keep telling my wife that if we ever have kids, a full size 4x4 van will be her ride...

Minivan drivers AND people who can't park, which are often the same person.

How long does it take to eat a bag of potato chips? All freaking day apparently as I'm learning from the woman who sits near me. The constant crunching is driving me insane.

Is it like being at the movies and having to hear people snack on popcorn the whole time?

She must be related to Scruffy from Futurama

No that's the kicker, it was just a small lunch sized bag.
