Ain't no way in fuck I'd ever have a minivan. Not even if I was a fuckin Mormon with 13 god damn kids. Nope

We were quickly out growing the Trailblazer with 1 kid, a dog and another kid on the way and definitely not able to afford a Suburban or Yukon that's was anywhere as new or as nice as the van, if you can find an 08+ of either that 1 owner, that's fully loaded, every service record since it had 25 miles on it, average miles for the age under 12k buy it because they just are not out there. For us it just made sense.

Go fullsize, don't get me wrong the Trailblazer was awesome, went through feet of snow, actually got me home from work on roads that they pulled the plows off of because the storms had gotten to bad more than once. It was really one of the best vehicles I had maintenance wise(the only thing that wasn't scheduled was the fuel level sender and that shold just be 100k on a tb because they all go bad and the idler pulley). I only had it for 3 years but put like 40k on it and we both loved it but we simply ran out of room for our needs, I think if the boys were older it would have fine still but a 2 year old and a new born you have to take so much extra shit and it got the same mileage as a a burb, my best was 18 all highway.

She wants an Acadia. I told her that line is junk. Trans issues an ac problems are real common so a full size it'll be. Lol. Really digging these. Gonna get the crack fixed in week or two if I can find the time. Then get this curb rash fixed at the top of the front wheel

Love our sienna! Always swore off mini vans too. There's a lot to be said for remote sliding doors with arms full of shit and trying to get a kid in there too!

Front doors are 30 percent according to the tint meter at work. Dark enough I can't see shit at night

I'll give up on life before I get a minivan.
Because that's basically what you're doing
I'd lay money that at some point if you don't have one it is at least heavily considered. We said the same. Then friends had them and we saw the convenience and how easy it made life. My Sienna is plush and would rather have it over a tahoe etc when it comes to the family vehicle.

This plus I'd bet money my Honderp would decimate a tahoe in a race, plus it actually has more room than a burb, I can almost stand up behind the rear seat, plus I need something practical to balance out the fact I have a tj and a rcsb, neither of which are exactly family vehicles
