1. No, but

a big turbo and a 125 hp shot of NOS does.

New England Dragway, Epping, NH, I witnessed such a thing.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Only in Epping!

:rofl: Seriously! :rofl:

[Hugin]

2. Well, you just blew your street cred, dude....

How's it feel? :rofl:

[MrCoffee]

4. i had street cred? dammit!

[mikeytherat]

3. Nope. Minivans are inherently cool.

I'm a dude, I have no kids, and I love minivans. OK, I'm a musician and I have my own computer consulting biz, so I am often hauling lots of large, heavy equipment. But, utility aside, I think they are cool. Sliding doors, lots of space, plenty of headroom - love 'em

32. TWO sliding doors! Seats that unlatch, roll-out, and re-configure.

Great headroom for a tall dude, and tiny Mrs. Rat can drive it, too. I've got two BMWs that I DRIVE, but the minivan and my little station wagon totally rock!

I know a few people who, I swear, will not even consider minivans because they are not "manly" enough. Holy Self-Esteem Issues, Batman! You care what some stranger thinks of you because you drive a minivan? Jeez; I'm not sure which is more pathetic.

33. I have soccer mom neighbors who say that they

aren't 'van people'. :wtf: does that mean?

You'll turn into one the first time you need to take the whole family on a trip and end up strapping luggage to the roof rack because there is no room behind the third seat of your POS SUV.

34. One of the funniest things I EVER saw on I-64:

First, a picture of one of the dumbest creations ever, the Hummer H2 Pickup Truck (or "SUT" as they call it):



I'm passing one of these hilarious creations on my way to the beach, and I notice it has a large Coleman cooler lashed to the roof rack (though the tiny bed of the truck is empty, the cooler is too big to fit there). I look behind it and see another car, with an identical cooler (maybe they are together?); however, the second vehicle is a tiny little station wagon, and the cooler is INSIDE the car, because it actually fits there!

36. My new neighbors have one of those.

:eyes: In :puke: school bus yellow. What were they thinking?

[Midlodemocrat]

5. You're just jealous of my minivan.

It's BLUE for starters (traded in a red one after the 2007 elections)

[MrCoffee]

7. this is a tribute poll!

that's my all time favorite post ever!!

[LostinVA]

9. Why should anyone be jealous of your minivan?

[Midlodemocrat]

11. Because it has sirius satellite radio?

and it's cool?

:eyes:

Try to keep up you douchebag.

[LostinVA]

13. Repeating that something is cool does not make it so

You're a mental health professional, you should know this.

[Hugin]

15. I learn so much here in the Lounge.

:|

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Does so. Just ask the pResident.

:eyes:

[LostinVA]

20. Freeper

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Yeah, I'm the one with the 'freep mobile'.

:P

[LostinVA]

24. Hey -- my car gets 50-55 mpg

What does yours get?

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Series? The jeep gets mileage that good?

Wish I had known that before I got that PITA a car.

[LostinVA]

29. No, my VW Golf TDI does

Her Jeep gets maybe a third of that on a good day.

[Midlodemocrat]

30. Oh, we're still doing the 'her car and my car' thing.

:eyes:

I don't see this marriage lasting. :rofl:

[LostinVA]

31. Only until September

Once she's driving an European import, I'll stop referring to it as "her car."

[mikeytherat]

35. Mrs. Rat didn't get Euro sedans until she hustled a BMW down a twisty road.

After that day, she got it. Now we each have one.

28. *bites tongue*

Ooooo...

[Hugin]

10. I distinctly remember that...

Jeeze, I need a life.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. You do?

:rofl:

Series. I did exchange a red one for a blue one. It was the right thing to do. :patriot:

[Hugin]

14. Yeah...

But, in your 3000 word OP on the subject you didn't say you had Satellite Radio in it.

[Midlodemocrat]

16. 3000 words. Pfft. I don't even know that many words.

[Hugin]

23. Silly, I didn't say they were unique words...

It was 3000 uses of the same ten or eleventeen words. :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

25. Okay. Good. For a minute, I thought you had me confused with someone else.

:P

[LynneSin]

18. Only if all the seats were out of the back and there was a mattress back there instead

Wait - what was the question?

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Who says there isn't?

:hide:

[LynneSin]

27. Well then that would make it cool - or a redneck from Perry County Pennsylvania

not sure which though

[MrCoffee]

22. when this minivan's a'rockin...

alert the authorities and raise the threat level.

[billyskank]

37. I voted for A suffusion of yellow.

I put your question to my I Ching calculator, and that is what it told me.

[Midlodemocrat]

38. What shade of yellow? School bus or pale?

It matters, ya know.

:hi:

[billyskank]

39. It did not say.

It can handle any calculation that yields an answer less than or equal to 4. Anything else is answered as "a suffusion of yellow." I am not certain if this is a programming error or an insight beyond my ability to fathom.

:hi:
