It's likely that some readers of this post abhor the idea of ever owning a minivan. Please understand, I grew up before the modern minivan was invented. There was no Dodge Caravan or Ford Windstar when I was young. For part of my adolescence, my family did have a van but it was more along the lines of the Mystery Machine that Scooby Doo and crew traveled around in. It was one of those old vans where the two middle seats were more like oversized recliners. I think we even had a "table" that could be installed if necessary. And I can't forget to mention the curtains. Yes, our old van had curtains. Please don't make fun of me. As crazy as it sounds now, back at the time it didn't seem so weird.
But here's why I think minivans are cool....the fact that we have a minivan means that God has blessed us with two super sons. It means we have space to carry soccer equipment and bicycles and grandparents and toys.
And while you may think your vehicle is cooler (and it's your vehicle, you should), that's okay with me. Because our minivan represents life and I'm a blessed man. And one more thing, we have way more cup holders than you.

Greg, we just purchased our 1st mini-van last night for our growing brood. We already love, for many of the same reasons, just substitute girls for boys.

for those "math, just give me the numbers" folks...my mini-van can hold 2 parents, then up to 5 kids with 5 happy meals and 5 nintendo DS and family supply of groceries. Wait there is more, while running a DVD with one grandparent in the middle seat of the middle row. While charging 2 blackberries, running an iPod, and running a small appliance from the 12-volt outlet. Did I mention I can run to Lowe's put all 4 back seats flat and haul enough stuff to build a garage. Mini-vans are way cool...and my 2 boys love it too.
