Got a badass ride, post it up. Cars, trucks, bikes, trikes, whatever rolls or flies.

Truth.

Last month I was shopping for a car to replace my daughter's Corolla that a kid backed his jacked-up F250 into (thankfully, she wasn't in it at the time). My original budget was $7K, but I ended up paying $8500. Reliable, reasonably-priced cars with relatively low mileage are rarer now than I've ever seen them.

I think you did well. But it *is* a minivan.
Not a minivan by definition but you have the right to call it the incorrect name all day if it makes you feel better.
From Wikipedia:

"... swinging doors are the norm for European and Japanese minivans, while most American models feature sliding doors..."

And...

"...The Honda Odyssey is a minivan manufactured by Japanese automaker Honda since 1994..."

Edmunds:

"1995 Honda Odyssey LX 4dr Minivan"

Motor Trend:

"Entering the minivan fray late with the '95 Odyssey, Honda took a daring approach to the blossoming market segment by essentially giving an Accord wagon a vertical stretch..."

JD Power:

"1995 Honda Odyssey Van..."

But if it makes someone more manly to call it something else, who am I to judge? :llama:

Guess they were out of Priuses, Smartcars and Cubes.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

The Cube is hitting below the belt. I'm the kind of guy who views a car as a tool to get from point A to point B, so I normally care much more about function than looks.

But I'd walk before I drove one of those.

Not even if they throw in a "groovy" dash pad for free?

No that's all you copied, keep trying to prove your incorrect stance on what a mini van is. If you think your opinion makes it a minivan then that's fine by you but the DMV disagrees and so do I. Your condescending tone can fuck off also especially since you're wrong.

You win. You're absolutely right. I'm wrong.

Sincere apologies for my condescension.
