Thinking *inside* the box.
When we were teenagers, a lot of us made over-dramatic promises like "I’d rather die than drive a mini-van." Many of us grew up and broke that promise because we realized pragmatism often outweighs looking cool. What else did you promise yourself you would never do as an adult? Which promises did you keep? Which did you break?
I've heard the claim that SUVs are so popular because they serve the same functions as minivans without carrying that minivan stigma. Maybe so. Could be.
Maybe its a generational thing but I *love* minivans. I didn't loose my virginity in my 1965 Volkswagen bus (came close though) but more than made up for the oversight for the next couple of years. I suppose you can have sex in the back of a Chevy Suburban or one of those other stupid-looking land-yachts, but the back of a minivan with the back and middle seats folded into the floor gives you as much space to lay out as a queen-size bed!
Plus, what cop's going to bother shining her flashlight into the back of a minivan anyway? Security through obscurity. (More thinking *inside* the box.)
Anyway, bottom line is I have great sexual associations with minivans. Just so you know.
