I would hate driving a van. Minivans handle terribly and are almost dangerous around corners. They are a tad bit emasculating. You know I think that SUVs are just minivans that look like trucks and arent as emasculating as minivans.

Minivans and SUVs are both large sight blockers,like when you’re trying to back out of that tricky space and you can’t see over or around either of them. Or you’re behind them and can’t tell what color the light is. Minivans are so matronly, I just don’t know if I would feel right driving one. I don’t think I’m ready to step into that realm.

I dont even own an SUV but there is a certain amount of envy that I have heard in the past about “big gawdy gas guzzling” SUVs. It seems as if people who cant afford them are jealous. I am not because I really like cars mostly.

Class envy? How does driving a YAV (SUV) cause class envy? Driving a Mercedes causes class envy, not a YAV. And, I hate to say it, but YAVs have only recently gotten the bad press, and in prior years, that bad press was being heaped on the Bimbo Box (Mini-van). People don’t bash Bimbo Boxes as much these days because more YAVs are being sold. The way I look at it, those who complain about either of these two vehicles do so (or have done so) interchangeably. But class envy? Give me a break.

I thought I was the only one who thought Tom Brokaw was delectable!
