Fall in Love with Minivans and Forget the Soccer Mom Stigma

Fall in Love with Minivans and Forget the Soccer Mom Stigma

Minivans are for Soccer Moms

A stigma and a statement what can't be more wrong, when you will see and follow the link of Car and Driver's blog on the 43rd Annual Van Nationals. The picture provided are showing real enthusiasm of Minivan Lovers, wanting me to walk a Mecum Auto Auction and see if I may can find a nice 70's Dodge A 108 and make it a custom of my own. Too good are the photos in this article, too much of real Vintage Americana and the way of living with a van is revealed to just put a stamp on it and say  "minivans are for soccer moms".

Minivan drivers average age as once 25

...now it is 65. And yes it seems that Hippies will never extinguish. Custom interiors, custom paint jobs, custom everything...Life, Love and Happiness 4ever. Here, as I had promised I am showing 10 photos, which were initially posted on the Car And Driver website by Daniel Pund and will show 22 more photos by photographer Marc Urbano. Please follow the link to read the entire story.

Today's Minivans are Tomorrow's Classics

No matter if you are into Ford, Honda, Toyota or Chrysler or Dodge Minivans - vans are a daily workhorse (not just for Soccer Moms) for families all around America and even business, considering the new Ram Promaster Series.

Myself, I never thought I would drive or consider driving one. Just coming back from Florida, where I accompanied my 8-year old son with his surgery on his leg and hip - I can tell you. Today's minivans are underrated. I can't tell you enough how appreciative I was during the process bringing my son from and to physical therapy and had the ease to get him in the van, which was a rental Chrysler Town & Country.

Fabulous the space in this car. Fabulous the amenities and especially the powered side doors and full fold-able captain chairs, making travel for him and me so much more easier. Because I am having another baby on its way...who knows  might really look into a Dodge Grand Caravan or the Town & Country from my friends at Tacoma Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Tacoma, WA.

Now enjoy the pictures below...
