when you start doing for SELL instead of for SALE then you've reached mastermind level.

I really feel the same way. I love driving my wife's CR-V. Inside and out it's a fantastic ride. And then when I get back into my car, it truly feels like a race car. :P

  • Ordered new window rubber to replace the old cracked ones
  • OEM roof rack and cross bars
  • HID for fogs
  • Replaced Gas Cap and missing transmission lock release cover

That's about it for now
lol, you're addicted to modding vehicles! That a clean mini van though.

Sometimes it feels like I take a nap and J has swapped like a 1/3 of the fleet.

Welcome to minivan life. Nothing beats minivans for practicality haha

You should have gone with the Sienna but Odyssey isn't a bad choice

I think, J needs his Vtec!!!


He probably bought this van so he could secretly have his J series affair since selling his second TL!!!

Kinda wish I had some J to play with!!!

Oddly enough, she doesn't like the Sienna and I'm partial to Honda...
it's funny Jin, but I ALMOST contacted you about your A4 Avant for sell before buying the Volvo but I figured logistically it would suck to
get across the country.

Yeah, Minivans are the truth...I fucking love the versatility and no lie...almost every day when she loads up the kids for school or the neighborhood kids etc...she texts me thanking me again telling me she can't believe she has such a nice van.


even the dog gets a ride

and Zoe...which is hilarious cause she's like "oh daddy...the black honda odyssey...the tv is so fantastic"
I mean, this is from a 3 year old.

People talk shit about vans. I did, then I bought one and I'm like I should have bought one instead of the Exploder. If you have more than 1 kid it's perfect.

*walking to the car, open the sliders kids jump in and buckle up even before you get to the car.

The sliding seats in mine is a huge plus too.

The only negatives to this one are that the previous owner must have parked it on the surface of the sun because I can tell the clear has taken a beating. I plan to have the headlights recleared and maybe do a little custom grill paint work to make it stand out. Should look cool as fuck.
The other thing is that in 2012 they still used a key...which I don't mind but it didn't dawn on me at the time that chicks like to not take a key out of their purse. Oh well...the 2013 Elite we were looking at wasn't the right color and had about 50K more miles which J wasn't comfortable with.

Flippy, you already know, man...Van life is the shit with all them kids. Even putting Z in...the door opening is like standing in a garage door that's open...no leaning over and hitting your head or hers on the way in. It's awesome.

Yea, my wife just leaves her keys in the purse. These new cars are tricky as hell though. I'll have my keys which is set to memory seat 2 key 2, my wife has memory seat 1 key 1. She will have her purse in the car with the key, I would have my key in the cupholder. It detects who the hell is sitting in the seat even with both keys in the car. It's creepy.

My wifes biggest grip about the Exploder was the doors, especially when ass hats parked too close. Plus the Ford was higher, so she would have to jump in and climb over to buckle my at the time 2 year old up. I'd buy a van again and again.

Yeah, I regret not getting a minivan earlier when my first son was born. The practicality is just insane. Nothing comes close to it in terms of that aspect.

Glad your gf and kids love it!

My wife fully understands the utility of a Minivan/wagon, but would rather walk than own either.

LOL...

I was in heaven for the 2 weeks I spent there...
EVERYTHING is a hatch or van or wagon.
Come to think of it...I owned 4 of those at one time last Thursday.

In-laws are in town & they bought one after using ours when we were out of town once.
