This thread has made the rounds before, but I'll play again. I loved my minivans. When I bought my first one, I was single and really, really didn't want one. I was looking for a good used vehicle and found a deal on a Mazda. I didn't want to buy it, but the deal was excellent. I decided that if I could find a cool license plate, that would be my sign to buy the damn thing. A quick DMV search provided "NOTAMOM" and the decision was made. I've had three since then, all company cars, all Dodge Grand Caravans. I loved every one of them. The Stow&Go seats are badass and those things can carry 4x8 sheets of plywood FLAT!
I finally gave it up, well after FIRE, when DH, who does the maintenance, insisted. The other day, I saw a white CG with a For Sale sign parked on the street and I was sorely, sorely tempted to stop and get the phone number.
Do it.
BTW, my last van was a distinctive color. Some new grandparents in the next town over bought it to haul their grandchild(ren) in. We still see it once in a while. Good to know it's still on the road.
