Oh no!! I'm a Soccer Mom!!!View MessagesViewing posts 1 to 48 of 48 messages posted.
“As some of you may recall, I was looking to replace the old worn out Saturn sedan that graced my driveway for many years. I started out by looking at several mini SUVs and though they were all very nice, none of them seemed to thrill me. I was looking for something that I could sleep in (no, not while driving---I have learned that it’s not a safe practice. Who knew?) when camping if I didn’t feel like setting up the tent. Most of the mini SUVs accomplished this by folding the seats down, but then all the gear would have to be either piled on the front seats or left outside. Well……one of the car lots I was frequenting had quite a few minivans that were lease returns, so I looked at a few. I liked what I saw. After consulting with one babe who told me I would still be cool if I bought one (as if that was ever in question, pffft!) and after reviewing one of my favorite movies, “Get Shorty” in which the minivan is the epitome of cool, I decided it was safe to make my move. Yes, it's true, I now own a Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. Please save your stories of "so-and-so had one of those and it sucked" but feel free to catch a ride with me and the other moms to soccer practice. Capri Sun juice boxes are on the house.” 6:52:35 PM 1/09/06 “You're one of THOSE people!! LOL My in-laws having been driving Grand Caravans for about ten years. They love 'em and my experience with theirs is great. I, however, wouldn't be caught dead in a mini-van! That "babe" must be VERY nearsited. ;o) Speaking of mini-vans, do any Michiganders remember the "sin bin" I drove down to Brighton Recreation Area several years ago. No one told me I looked cool. :o) Seriously tho, congrats on your new wheels! Way cool.” 7:01:50 PM 1/09/06 “LOL!! You always have a way with words, NC!” 7:01:55 PM 1/09/06 “DVD in the back? I want a Subaru wagon.” 7:04:24 PM 1/09/06 “Tarabull will sell you hers for real cheap.” 7:05:41 PM 1/09/06 “Hey Nigal, Me too! I got a Jeep Liberty, two wheel drive, tho. I didn't have much choice in the matter and it's beautiful so I'm happy!” 7:05:59 PM 1/09/06 “Sweet ride!! Did you get the vintage woodlike sides? What color is your soccer mom sticker?” 7:06:04 PM 1/09/06 “Actually they don't get much better gas milage than my Jeep does.” 7:06:26 PM 1/09/06 “Damnit birch! Here I played the straight man for ya thinking you'd follow me up with an awesome vagina joke or something and ya leave me hangin'! BTW Noncom, my brother has one and loves it. A Caravan, not a vagina.” 7:08:27 PM 1/09/06 “I hope to pick up one of those portable DVD players for use in the van, hotels, etc. And who knows, someday I may have a small fridge, shag carpeting, and wood paneling in there too. I'll park at the beach all summer and play the Bee Gees.” 7:09:48 PM 1/09/06 “I have the BeeGees DVD you can borrow.” 7:11:54 PM 1/09/06 “I always wanted a Ford Econoline... ![]() "Nigal-Nigal-Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now."” 7:13:07 PM 1/09/06 “BTW Noncom, my brother has one and loves it. A Caravan, not a vagina.” Nigal 8:08:27 PM 1/09/06 Yeah, a vagina doesn't get nearly as good mileage and takes a completely different kind of wax. last edited: 1/09/06 7:16:31 PM” 7:15:23 PM 1/09/06 “Yeah, a vagina doesn't get nearly as good mileage.” Nonconformist It depends on how hard you ride it. While you may drive it less, you drive it harder. Keep in mind that an odometer only meters in the forward direction.” 7:18:15 PM 1/09/06 “Yeah, a vagina doesn't get nearly as good mileage and takes a completely different kind of wax. Nonconformist 8:15:23 PM 1/09/06 Depends on the model of the vagina and if it comes prewaxed or not. There are some decent vaginas out there. You just have to shop wisely and ALWAYS test drive first. last edited: 1/09/06 7:21:36 PM” 7:20:14 PM 1/09/06 “Sunshine, will you marry me? Wolfeyes, you can live with us. last edited: 1/09/06 7:24:09 PM” 7:22:51 PM 1/09/06 “I dont know, if you maintain it well and keep it properly lubed you can get well over 50 years out of a good quality vagina. I am not sure about any foreign models, I am a domestic man myself.” 7:23:13 PM 1/09/06 “LMAO@Sunshine! Leave it to the women to defend the good vaginas out there!” 7:23:22 PM 1/09/06 ““Sunshine, will you marry me?” Nonconformist Aaaah, NC, you sound like a really nice guy but.... You drive a mini-van!! ;o)” 7:25:02 PM 1/09/06 “No way birch! Ya gotta lease! That way you're not in for the long haul, there's no depreciation on your end and ya can run the hell out of it cause you're just turning it back in four years. Me? I get suckered into the buy out.” 7:25:57 PM 1/09/06 “"Aaaah, NC, you sound like a really nice guy but.... You drive a mini-van!!" And so it begins... How many months did you finance for? This could be the mother of all dry spells. last edited: 1/09/06 7:29:15 PM” 7:28:12 PM 1/09/06 “ ”7:42:13 PM 1/09/06 “That van certainly does not conform to any standard of normalcy.” 7:44:44 PM 1/09/06 “I was gonna get a Mazda MPV but Pixie told me I wouldn't be cool in it... I still want that MPV...” 7:46:07 PM 1/09/06 “Damn Wolfeyes, that van certainly could use a good wax.” 7:51:03 PM 1/09/06 “I think you need to take your van grocery shopping. How much can it handle?” 7:53:26 PM 1/09/06 “How much ya got?” 7:55:48 PM 1/09/06 “You could do tons of grocery shopping in/with that thing.” 7:56:44 PM 1/09/06 “just give it a good paint job and call it a russbil - totally cool” 8:45:44 AM 1/10/06 ““just give it a good paint job and call it a russbil - totally cool” Russbil? What's that?! How many months did you finance for? This could be the mother of all dry spells. last edited: 1/09/06 7:29:15 PM” Nigal Naw, I think he needs to call that "babe" who told him he's still cool. She's either blind or in love. Wait a minute... maybe she's the one who sold him the van! LOL” 8:50:01 AM 1/10/06 I like this van better “ ”9:13:14 AM 1/10/06 “This has to be one of the funniest threads in a good long while. Classic TT isn't totally dead. Thanks guys.” 9:16:09 AM 1/10/06 “Do you think a vagina van would be temperamental one week out of the month? Nice van WK. I smell a music montage coming on!” 9:20:18 AM 1/10/06 “ ”9:21:35 AM 1/10/06 “And dayhiker cums through once again!” 9:22:49 AM 1/10/06 “The new Vagina, by Chevrolet. Official van of the NBA. last edited: 1/10/06 9:26:41 AM” 9:23:03 AM 1/10/06 “N - I read where Tarrantino is re-releasing Kill Bill into one long movie with an intermission in between. I think he's also adding some stuff that was originally filmed but not included in the initial release. My wife and I were very suprised at how much we enjoyed the movies.” 9:26:04 AM 1/10/06 “Sunshine - an example of russbil : http://www.grefsen.vgs.no/Russ/russ.html do a google for Russ for more examples” 10:22:09 AM 1/10/06 “Dang, I sure killed this thread.” 2:54:06 PM 1/10/06 “Threadkiller.” 2:55:35 PM 1/10/06 “"Speaking of mini-vans, do any Michiganders remember the "sin bin" I drove down to Brighton Recreation Area several years ago.

I took my mom's (before she totalled it) on a couple long distance trips and travelled in comfort!” 5:09:01 PM 1/10/06 “Having a mini van is great. It made all the difference on our yearly family Smokies campout.” 5:17:57 PM 1/10/06 “Noncomformist, You could only ELEVATE yourself in life if you married Sunshine. She is a WINNER 20 ways from Sunday! :)” 5:34:57 PM 1/10/06 “Ooooh, just missed it by that much! I was looking for 21 ways from Sunday.
