Minivans

[collinwho]

Gets ZERO respect on the road. Earned me the title "van man" by neighbors whose spouses drove minivans...nice:rolleyes:. Pfft.....I trade it on an F-150 Super Crew. Neighbors then called it my "middle-age crisis truck". What assholes.

Volvo might be sold to a Chinese auto maker.

So they will be imported into America with the patriotic stickers already applied. That's a very efficient process.

I don't look at things emotionally, I avoid it at all cost. Mine is a black and white world with no room for philosophical contradictions.

What does a philosophical contradiction have to do with the discussion?

Absolutely nothing. It was a flippant reference to something Craig posted in another thread.
