3 Kids + Dog=> 7+ Passenger vehicle
Small/Medium SUV (Equally dorky and way smaller thanMinivan) = 16MPG
Large SUV (Very sexy) = 11MPG
Minivan = 20MPG
Gas >= $3.10/Gallon
Minivan becomes Sexy (OK liveable) - Ya think you hate it now, but wait till you drive it!
Oh, & Stop that burnout $hit at stoplights by my van
friggin squid.

Thanks for being yet ANOTHER bad example in traffic. I hate getting looked at like I am a damned criminal because of jack asses screwing off around the general public. I mean, I love a good burnout or wheelie just as much as the next guy, but I try to be an ambassador to the sport instead of a bad example.

I'm not a fan of the Mommyvan, but you can remove the seats, and tie down the bike to the seat anchor points inside... Just a thought.
Scratch that... I learned to drive on an old Toyovan, and then mom traded it for a Windstar and I drove that until I got my first job and got my first car. I actually like minivans, I just prefer sportscars, so that's wat I got myself now that I can afford them.
Although OldFat's molester van, and the converted conversion van will give you a lot more space, a minivan would do just fine in a pinch to go to the track.
I'm still debating between a dedicated hauler (used and ratty), or just putting a hitch on my old (now my wife's) Sportwagonand getting an enclosed motorcycle trailer.

Fit yourself, your wife, 3 kids,a 70lbdog, a monster stroller, 5 bags, lake supplies in your Mountaineer and we'll talk. To do this you need a Suburban - Mountaineer won't do the trick - Suburban = 11MPG - Our Explorer is good only for winter driving when we leave the dog at home, and then it's still cramped in the back for the kids.-Thenewer Ford SUV's must be soo much better on gas - if I get 12 on my Explorer (5.0) I'm jumping for joy - Pulling our pontoon home I got 8. - GEEZ - Semi's do better than that! - Worst ever was pulling 2 sleds pushing a wind in -15 weather - 6 MPG, - Had to fill up every 1.5 hours OUCH. - That vehicle sits from March till October.
As far as retaining my ********* - I was able to pickup my F4i with my wife's knowledge - I'm still wearing the pants in my family. I know plenty of Tahoe driving manly men that ask how high when the wife says jump.
