Gotta have space in the rear...
I know, 1 text of your junk and we're back to being friends.
Maj, I agree...but driving it around, man that thing feels good on the highway. Maybe it's the 4WD.

^^^ none of the minivans are AWD 
(if thats what you were saying)
but yeah I like it just for space and ease of use (for my old parents) LOL....now if it were only us, I would get a SUV/bigger sedan long before I even think of a minivan....

Maj....sooo effin true....
how ever, we are thinking of trading the wifey's Lex in for something
this past weekend we thought of dropping the minivan idea and getting a 5 seater suv and we test drove the Audi Q5/BMW X1 and X3 and we were just stunned at the lack of space in the rear....it was barely an upgrade (in space) from her ES300....
Since the Honda Oddy has the same J series engine, now am pretty sure on the 08+ Oddy for us, my TL and the sedan....
The only reason for a minivan (before the flaming starts) is either of our parents might be here with us....we think in the next 4-5 years, they will be here over 50% of the time....so 4 grown adults and 1 child seat is tough in fit in her car and the 5 seater SUV....
but the sedan is very very nice

My 06 suburban averages 16.7 mpg and I get just over 20 on the hwy.
My odyssey (albeit an 03 without VCM) only got about 17 hwy on a good day.
SUV's have come a long ways and I can seat 7 comfortably and still load a small village behind the 3rd row seat.

If you get some time, find a used V and throw it around a bit. Curious to hear your opinion/comparison vs the IS-F.
This.
No minivan, swoosh.

Okay okay okay okay OKAY. So, it's okay to be pro-China if they boosted Apple's iPhone sales figures, right?

Yep I'm actually looking at it right now haha
so many pages to look through though
Spare tire and jack will probably be enough for me
Stage 3 exhaust should help a tiny bit too I think whenever I get that done

Actually, Anil and Tim/Rex came up with this crazy formula where they take rotational mass multiplied by the humidity index divided by Ron Jeremy's peen size and end up with 6 to 700 pound weight reduction. Without the formula they've each removed about and ACTUAL 40 pounds.

It's likely I won't be around then. I think I'll be leaving on the 13th, and coming back on the 20th.

I could...depends on the conditions.
If there's nothing left to shoot or I can't go shooting, I'd look at coming back earlier.
