deadhead dad in an overloaded minivan

Only one of us would even think about this. Probably a zoner! Check out the sticker on the back of the van in the picture in the article.

I'm now almost 2 years minivan free. I sometimes look longingly at a sweet Sienna or Odyssey, but tell myself that I'm never going back to that lifestyle. 

I would really love a Westie though. That isn't a minivan, is it?

It has a sliding door...but no rows of seats like a minivan. I would consider it a conversion van or a camper van.

 

I love my Sienna. It holds a lot of stuff with enough space between the kids to keep it sustainable on car trips. Plus most of the time my wife drives it with the kids so I don't deal with a daily stigmata, but that being said it accelerates better than my RAV.  I want to get rid of the RAV for something more efficient but that won't happen for another couple years at least unfortunately.

I had a Ford Freestar for 8 or so years. That fucker had a 4.3 liter engine, had crazy pick-up and could cruise at 90 mph, fully loaded.
