Well, after almost 7(!) years of blissful marriage, we broke down and got a 2006 Mazda 5 (mini minivan) on Monday.

It's not the bohemoth of 10 D's Odyssey, but it has 3 rows of seats, and is much better for Jackie than bumming rides to work from her parents (a common occurrence over the past 2 months)

Maddie Nigs wouldn't let me drive it when we took it home - she insisted I sit in the back with her.

Is it still technically a family vehicle if you use the 6 speaker system to emit Mastodon?

Congrats! And welcome to the Minivan Club, you can be secretary.

I was noting the Mazda5 on the road the other day, nice looking ride, reminds me of the original Odyssey in its minivan/wagon compromise.

Can we fit all of RS.N in our two minivans? (I seat 8)

TOTALLY.

I love the van.

With apologies to Glib:

While I love the Mazda mini-van, that is the most ridiculous photo I've ever seen. "Honey, just pull up next to the pool."

Google image search had other shots, but this was the only one that matched the color we got.

I only keep the Bentley next to the pool.

You should know that by now.

Or you could pull a tgl and decide against a specific model of car because you don't want to be "that guy they market to" even though you are SO their target audience.
