Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    What exactly is wrong with minivans anyway?

    Oohh, minivans are LAME. Bullshit. They hold a lot more in cargo and people than an SUV, and get better gas mileage to boot. You're just too cool for one.

    Cept you're not, You bred. You have to haul kids and groceries and dogs around. You were driving a VOLVO WAGON fer chrissakes.

    I'm tired, oh so tired, of hearing about how horrible minivans are. They're practical. Worrying about your image based on the vehicle you drive is silly--and trust me, everyone's already got you pegged anyway.
