These cars ain't profiled. Sorry. Another debunked urban legend. There's enough crappy drivers out there cops don't need to profile your orange Camaro.

Holy smokes scrming drives a flex now. I have been away too long lol. My wife started a business and wanted a front wheel drive fun type car. I told her pick whatever and i will trade the camaro in for it. She got a 2007 mini cooper S. That was rough. Thrillz

Yup.

You had to trade a hot rod on a minivan. That would suck. If that were me I wouldn't be telling anyone. LOL

hightower · 12-04-2011, 01:10 PM

Ah well I'm sorry to hear that. Glad to hear you put family first. Maybe in 10+ years you can scoop up another sports car.

Ouch Angie. I gotta defend this one. ( yeah, man ego thing).

I'm on my 5th minivan, for the kids for sure, but I'm also a musician who gigs regularly and the having the spacing in the van is invaluable for my gear.

The aforementioned kids- we're a scouting family and with two boys actively in scouts, the minivan is way better than the SUV. Just not enough room in the SUV's for two boys and all of our gear.

All that said, the van is to accommodate the responsibilities, but definately not the "driver" in me. For that, I have the 68 and 10 and both are tucked away for the winter so my biggest quandary in the summer is which one to drive.

Can I get my man card back now, please.

If you need a van, you need a van... all there is to it.

SSGUNNER · 12-04-2011, 01:35 PM

That sucks. Good luck on mini van.

1BADLS3 · 12-04-2011, 03:34 PM

Wow, does your wife let you drive the new minivan? Now that she owns your balls AND carries your (expired) man-card in her purse?

Ehhh I understand ur situation but at the end of the day its still a minivan. Sorry I cant give any man his man card in a minivan :( I had Jeep Grand Cherokee for the past 10 yrs to accomodate my rescue work for dogs, mainly Great Danes, then my twin girls that came along 5.5 yrs ago. My husband at the time wanted me to get a van to haul everyone around. Had 7 dogs of our own 4 Great Danes + 3 mixed breeds plus a few rescues at any given time but I wouldnt hear of a minivan. No way. My Jeep was crowded at times but it did just fine. Hate minivans and I hate seeing men drive them.

My fun cars during my Jeeps life was a 1974 Maverick, 2 '69 mustangs (vert & fastback) all 3 in restoration period and my husbands '72 fully restored Maverick w a 302.
