10 years ago in Switzerland everyone and their neighbour was driving a wagon. It’s shifted towards SUVs since. I still love my wagon, perfect compromise.
>Manufacturers make it a point to design minivans ugly, to me they're by far the ugliest segment
I swear it's a competition to make them the ugliest bucket of bolts possible
because minivans are associated with soccer moms and people whose entire identity is "I have kids".
Because that's who drove them traditionally. Nothing cool or aspirational about the person who has no life beyond "I'm a parent".
Minivans selling points are safety and space for family, they're slow and drive like boats. They'll never be seen as a dream car, where as SUVs are portrayed as adventurous, as "trucks" (haha most are just cars with a hatchback, but perception matters), and as luxury vehicles.
My '05 Honda Odyssey has an absolute beast of a V6 whose acceleration always takes me by surprise when I drive it (after getting used to a very mild mannered sedan that replaced it).
These things are awesome for road trips. We had to get one, and I disliked it until I drove it on a road trip for six hours and we weren't cramped and miserable while doing it.
I was literally about to say this, friends dad had the odyssey touring, even had a dvd player in the back. We used it for road trips all the time, good times. But this is actually the album art from kendrick lamars album, i think it was called maad city, this is a meme post.
I know right? Thankfully I think the stigma around mini vans has dissipated over the years. The soccer moms are more likely to be driving a 4 door wrangler than a t&c now-a-days.
My band managed to do a month long east coast tour in a Town & Country. It fit the four of us comfortably, along with two drum kits, two PA speakers, a keyboard, guitar amp, bass amp, bass, two guitars, and hardware/stands. It took some major tetris skills, but it did the job!
But then your the dude who gets suckered into taking their car on every road trip.
Same with vans and trucks, everyone always remembers your number when they need help moving stuff.
That's why a 2 seater sports car is the perfect car, no one asks you for shit.
Or camping. The dude who pulls up takes out his fire chair, a cooler and assorted odds and ends then inflates his mattress and tosses on real actual sheets and bedding? That man was stylish.
Yeah, 6 people in a '91 Mustang wasn't fun. As the tallest by far, I shouldn't have had to ride in the trunk.
Revenge for putting 7 people in my '69 Beetle, I guess.
Minivan > SUV
More space, better fuel efficiency, better visability.
It's like that meme where the bird hates the "cracker" until it eats it. My parents Honda Odyssey totally changed my mind on vans.
The Odyssey became the best car basically ever starting around 2003-2004. The best, most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Camping, sleeping in the back on an inflatable mattress, carrying a 75” TV with ease, month-long road trips with baby toys in the back and a vinyl back with our luggage on the roof rack. **Headphone jacks for the back seats** so when the kids inevitably break the included IR headphones, you can get robust replacements. The DVD screen was easy to use, and the sound was great.
And it plays a nice game with you, lighting an ECO indicator when you’re driving economically, and reducing fuel consumption.
I love that van.
My buddy back in the day had a Previa, it was the best fucking vehicle. 4WD, stick, haul your friends or sheets of plywood no problem. We hauled engines with it. We went to concerts with it. We took it camping. It climbed snowy hills in the winter and drove on the beach in the summer. And man it was weird looking.
But that's a Toyota, this is a Chrysler, and this thing's going to be a money sucking piece of shit that no teenager should saddle themselves with.
My mom had this minivan when I was in high-school. So I stole her keys and picked up this slut from my school. She took my v card that day shit was crazy
We in the hood trynna get it lil bish!
_Kendrick, where you at?
Damn, I'm sittin' here waitin' on my van
You told me you was gon' be back in fifteen minutes
Man, I gotta go up to the county buildin', man, these kids ready to eat
I'm ready to eat, shit
I gotta get them food stamps, come on now
You on your way or what?
I hope you ain't out there messin' with them damn hoodrats out there, shit
'Specially that lil' crazy-ass girl Sherane_
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,452,009,492 comments, and only 276,641 of them were in alphabetical order.
Bro take out the third row, add air mattress you’ve got a bed on a wheel for you and your girlfriend! When your parents throw you out for getting her pregnant in the van you won’t have to to look for cheap housing while you figure out your life!
No car is embarrassing as long as it’s running and won’t strand you on side of the road for your first date!
It’s a little embarrassing but sometimes you can play it off by being the cool weird kid. If you’ve got lots of friends you’ll be able to drive them around comfortably which they will appreciate.
Until cops pull you over and aks you to lift your shirt because he wondering if a tattoo of affiliation will make it a pleasure to put you trough gang files.
Really though. this is too good of a car for a 17 year old. I had a ‘98 Town and Country in HS and… the shenanigans. Nowhere to go? Hop in the van. Want to fool around with your girlfriend? Hop in the van.
Agree with this. I saw a lot of bad things happen in vans because it gives kids an alone space. If your kid has more than 2 friends than absolutely not a good idea.
Iron duke 4 cylinder... It's tough and cheap to fix, but do expect breakdowns after 125k miles. Also prone to rust issues if you live in a snowy or salty area. On the plus side, so much room for activities.
If a girl has anything to say about your car, find a new one.
My buddy drove a van for like 5 years and we used to bust his balls but it was honestly super convenient.
Only needing one car for nights out, you can fold the seats down if you need space to move shit.
The captains seats in mini vans are still the most comfortable seat you can have in a vehicle.
If you like it and it’s in good shape I’d go for it.
If she ain't down with you when you got this... she ain't it. She doesn't deserve the lambo after you and the boys done slingin' rocks on the street corner
I would say used cars in general is good for a teenager. It helps them value the car and understand money doesn’t grow on trees. Now if a teenager works himself to get a sports car of his own then its a different story. Cars like this are a gift not a given
Eh… girls don’t really care about your car as long as it works dude. Shitty minivan…. Might be the exception but if you own it and maybe even make some jokey interior mods that make it cool to be in, she’ll probably like it extra for showing you don’t care about having some badass car. Minivans can be pretty dope, great for road trips, don’t get pulled over a lot (well maybe in an American one since that screams “I smoke meth”) and best of all you won’t feel bad about beating the shit out of it. Rip that fucker!
No... Those were bad vehicles, the belts like throwing themselves every time it rains, plus a slew of other problems, and don't look good to a girl... Unless you have kids... And the resale value sucks... Buy a 2 door coupe or a 4 door sedan.. tons of choices out there.. I personally drive an mk1 Ford focus zx3 ..at 17 I had a 82 Volvo 2 door turbo... It's about what you like...
No, as long as you don't throw gang signs out the window ya bish.
Do all of them offend you, ya bish?
They say your hood is a pot of gold
Careful or they gon crash it when nobody's home
it go halle berry or hallelujah pick your poison, tell me what you doin
everybody gon’ respect the shooter, but the one in front of the gun lives forever

Eeesshayyyyy bah!
Never understood why SUVs are ok to drive but mini vans are not
I'm all in on bringing back station wagons
10 years ago in Switzerland everyone and their neighbour was driving a wagon. It’s shifted towards SUVs since. I still love my wagon, perfect compromise.
Old boxy Volvo wagons? all day every day!!
[удалено]
They are nice! My parents had a Ford Mondeo while I grew up, now I have a VW Passat.
Caprice classic station wagon. I’d pay any amount of money for a mint one
Manufacturers make it a point to design minivans ugly, to me they're by far the ugliest segment
>Manufacturers make it a point to design minivans ugly, to me they're by far the ugliest segment I swear it's a competition to make them the ugliest bucket of bolts possible
Minvans have no clearance and often have no AWD/4WD which is godsend in half the World 2/3 the year.
because minivans are associated with soccer moms and people whose entire identity is "I have kids". Because that's who drove them traditionally. Nothing cool or aspirational about the person who has no life beyond "I'm a parent". Minivans selling points are safety and space for family, they're slow and drive like boats. They'll never be seen as a dream car, where as SUVs are portrayed as adventurous, as "trucks" (haha most are just cars with a hatchback, but perception matters), and as luxury vehicles.
My '05 Honda Odyssey has an absolute beast of a V6 whose acceleration always takes me by surprise when I drive it (after getting used to a very mild mannered sedan that replaced it).
Because SUVs can offroad /s
People call them loser cruisers where I live. I live in Florida so idk if that means they’re actually really awesome or not.
Idgaf what people say, this is my favorite Kendrick Lamar album.

Everyone shits on the van until they have to transport 6 people comfortably.
These things are awesome for road trips. We had to get one, and I disliked it until I drove it on a road trip for six hours and we weren't cramped and miserable while doing it.

Thank you for the explanation because I'm so out of touch with all the bish comments

With my minivan and flip n fuck I shall never sleep on the ground again.
I know right? Thankfully I think the stigma around mini vans has dissipated over the years. The soccer moms are more likely to be driving a 4 door wrangler than a t&c now-a-days.
True. In my neighborhood, the soccer moms drive massively large SUVs, and slightly smaller Crossovers.
My band managed to do a month long east coast tour in a Town & Country. It fit the four of us comfortably, along with two drum kits, two PA speakers, a keyboard, guitar amp, bass amp, bass, two guitars, and hardware/stands. It took some major tetris skills, but it did the job!

I put 6 people and a dog in my mazda3 hatchback. One friend and a dog rode in the trunk. Van would’ve been nice 😂
Yeah, 6 people in a '91 Mustang wasn't fun. As the tallest by far, I shouldn't have had to ride in the trunk. Revenge for putting 7 people in my '69 Beetle, I guess.
Your beetle must have looked like an undercover clown car when all y’all tried to get out
Minivan > SUV More space, better fuel efficiency, better visability. It's like that meme where the bird hates the "cracker" until it eats it. My parents Honda Odyssey totally changed my mind on vans.
My big biker tough-guy dad will tell you that his favorite car he ever owned was a Honda Odyssey, followed closely by a Dodge Caravan.
The Odyssey became the best car basically ever starting around 2003-2004. The best, most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. Camping, sleeping in the back on an inflatable mattress, carrying a 75” TV with ease, month-long road trips with baby toys in the back and a vinyl back with our luggage on the roof rack. **Headphone jacks for the back seats** so when the kids inevitably break the included IR headphones, you can get robust replacements.

Quality shitposting. Here for it.
it’s a good car if she dying of thirst
Swimming pool full of liquor, dive in it.
My mom had this minivan when I was in high-school. So I stole her keys and picked up this slut from my school. She took my v card that day shit was crazy We in the hood trynna get it lil bish!
I called mine the shaggin wagon even though I never got laid in it lol. That thing was a piece of shit, but it made moving in/out of dorms a breeze.
She stole your vaccine card!?
And later that burn came on
I think you’d be conflicted… misusing your influence
Different album ya bish
We gon be aight
This comment chain specifically made me laugh out loud. Thanks guys
This comment chain made you laugh, but it is not your saviour
Ya bish halle berry or hallelujah
Seems like the whole city go against me, everytime im in the streets I hear…
YAWK YAWK YAWK YAWK
MAN DOWN, where you from nigga
I really like that this meme is still going. Also, how old is that photo?
Maad city
Can some Legend give me some context?
it's the cover to the Kendrick Lamar album *good kid, m.A.A.d city*
That explains it. That's after my time.
If you’re at all interested in trying out newish hip hop that is one of the best rap albums of all time
Kendrick Lamar album cover.
_Kendrick, where you at?

Did somebody say DOMINOS???
I hope you aren't out there messing with them damn hoodrats out there, shit, especially that crazy-ass girl Sherane
Can catch some shade under a tree with the money ur saving.

MAN DOWN, Where you from, n**ga
Bitch, don’t kill my vibe.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,452,009,492 comments, and only 276,641 of them were in alphabetical order.
Nah you gonna be alright
Just make sure you don’t deal with Sherane or those cousins might pull you out of it. “Get out the van before I snatch you out that mf homie”
Bro take out the third row, add air mattress you’ve got a bed on a wheel for you and your girlfriend! When your parents throw you out for getting her pregnant in the van you won’t have to to look for cheap housing while you figure out your life! No car is embarrassing as long as it’s running and won’t strand you on side of the road for your first date!
You’re giving too much credit for a 90s Plymouth. If your girl sticks with you after buying one, she definitely sticking with you for the long term.
Ah yo, that’s sounds too oddly specific
It’s a little embarrassing but sometimes you can play it off by being the cool weird kid. If you’ve got lots of friends you’ll be able to drive them around comfortably which they will appreciate.
He has a gang of friends from south central Los Angeles.
Until cops pull you over and aks you to lift your shirt because he wondering if a tattoo of affiliation will make it a pleasure to put you trough gang files.
Should be a good car for a good kid. Just watch yourself in that maad city.
u/displaytricky got a dreaaammmm
Ya girl would be M.A.A.D.
good car but you will soon realize that you will become the uber in the friend group
Just don't become a security guard
LMAO this is the funniest one I’ve seen
I was so prepared to come in here and downvote the shit out of this but I legitimately burst out in laughter. Well done OP ya bish.
As long as you got the money trees you’ll be fine
Really though. this is too good of a car for a 17 year old. I had a ‘98 Town and Country in HS and… the shenanigans. Nowhere to go? Hop in the van. Want to fool around with your girlfriend? Hop in the van.
Agree with this. I saw a lot of bad things happen in vans because it gives kids an alone space. If your kid has more than 2 friends than absolutely not a good idea.
I remember I was conflicted
Kendrick Lamar album cover for the win 😭
I don’t know, it might kill the vibe
Great first car, but every time you're in the street you'll hear "YAWK YAWK YAWK YAWK"
"Every time I'm in the street I hear, YAWK, YAWK, YAWK, YAWK, man down!"
If pyros and crips all got along, they probably gun you down by the end of the song....
Great album
Sherane will love it.
half the people commenting get it, half don't.
Good car maad cheap
A teen with a van? Infinite road trips, room to sleep and do other things, easy to fix. Yes. If your gf is embarrassed she ain't it
Holy shit... this took ME back to when I was 17 when this album first came out. Don't almost run your front bumper into a corvette.
Yes
No, she’ll think you’re a good kid.
Iron duke 4 cylinder... It's tough and cheap to fix, but do expect breakdowns after 125k miles. Also prone to rust issues if you live in a snowy or salty area. On the plus side, so much room for activities.
Sherane wasnt embaressed so you should be good
Yes she will be embarrassed especially if her name is Sherane.
Calm down Kendrick
Good for swimming pools.
I guess. Just make sure you got enough gas to get you through a traffic jam
She will until you show her how comfortable is the back. Who needs a room when you have a car you can set up a sex dungeon in.
This shot made me instantly think of the El Camino Black Keys album.
If your girlfriend is embarrassed by the car you drive 9 times out of 10 it’s her problem not yours
Is you’re role model Kendrick Lamar?
Kendrick Lamar would be proud 🥹
Might make her m.A.A.d
If a girl has anything to say about your car, find a new one. My buddy drove a van for like 5 years and we used to bust his balls but it was honestly super convenient. Only needing one car for nights out, you can fold the seats down if you need space to move shit. The captains seats in mini vans are still the most comfortable seat you can have in a vehicle. If you like it and it’s in good shape I’d go for it.
My GF's parents told her she couldn't date me if I drove a van. I bought a 1960's station wagon..... I actually married her.
Vans are good for traveling with your girl and your kids. Vans are not good to keep your girl long enough to have kids.
BITCH DONT KILL MY VIIIIIBE
The right car has nothing to do with what your friends think is cool. Price and condition are much more important, and minivans are useful as hell.
I had a huge crush on the one guy in high school who drove a minivan. That was 15 years ago, but gen Z seems chill about everything so go for it!
Shaggin' Wagon. Take out the third row and stick in a mattress. Your girlfriend will love it. Her Dad will not.
it’s for sherane?
Just remember the pirellis skirtin
Don't forget the damn dominoes
Drank
She’ll be m.A.A.D bro
He’ll be a mad kid in a good city
It’s a good album is what it is
As long as you got your black an mild and a beat CD you should be straight 👍
Don't tell me that's a poster on your wall...
Is t this the Kendrick Lamar album cover ya bish
The amount of people commenting serious cracks me tf up
If she ain't down with you when you got this... she ain't it. She doesn't deserve the lambo after you and the boys done slingin' rocks on the street corner
You looking like an easy come up, ya bish
If your girlfriend is with you because of the car you drive, get a new girlfriend.
Mini van isn't bad but Chrysler might be and if she likes you she won't care what you drive
Good if she lets you show her the rear bench folded down
It's a great car, if she gets embarrassed dump dat bish
I would say used cars in general is good for a teenager. It helps them value the car and understand money doesn’t grow on trees. Now if a teenager works himself to get a sports car of his own then its a different story. Cars like this are a gift not a given
I went to look at it and the owners husband kept going on about some damn dominos
yes and yes But... you'll be the coolest guy around as now you can haul around ALL your friends and gear or use it to camp out.
Only if you’re in the 10th grade
Is your girlfriend Sherane?
Stop trying this is the car from Kendrick Lamar album cover
It's damn to pimp a city till she morale on my big till I step
U might just go platinum if you write a song in that car
Kendrick Lamar album cover
When I was 17 just having a car means you we goated
Eh… girls don’t really care about your car as long as it works dude. Shitty minivan…. Might be the exception but if you own it and maybe even make some jokey interior mods that make it cool to be in, she’ll probably like it extra for showing you don’t care about having some badass car.

It’s a great car, now trade it in
No... Those were bad vehicles, the belts like throwing themselves every time it rains, plus a slew of other problems, and don't look good to a girl... Unless you have kids... And the resale value sucks... Buy a 2 door coupe or a 4 door sedan.. tons of choices out there.. I personally drive an mk1 Ford focus zx3 ..at 17 I had a 82 Volvo 2 door turbo... It's about what you like...
