Doug: We're renting a Chrysler Town and Country for the trip to Maine this fall. If it turns out to be the car of Kim's dreams we'll probably be trading in the truck for one.

It will make a good photo vehicle with easy loading and unloading of gear. And the gas mileage isn't much of an issue since we put so few miles on our cars.

But it is a minivan...

Steve, I should have mentioned that I’m currently driving a 2010 VW minivan (built by Chrysler for VW). It’s a great vehicle for hauling dogs and stuff around on trips or just being able to load up two other couples for going out to dinner. No wood on it either. I’m able to trade cars often so it will be gone by Christmas and I’ll miss the cargo space but not the 18-21 mpg.

Chuck: You are absolutely right about the MP3 being an SUV. My limited experience with them has be so impressed. Someday I will have one or something like it. Stable, sturdy, sure-footed and go go go.

Rick: I sense a minivan in our future. A traveling machine. I really wish I had the vehicle I took my driver's test in when I was 16-- a 1970 VW Campmobile. I loved that thing. Took one for a test drive a few years ago and observed how really bad they are. Bad brakes, no power, sloppy steering, bad suspension.

I'm spoiled by modern technology. So maybe a Chrysler Town and Country with hideaway seats.

Mr. Riepe: You are large-hearted and kind opening your exclusive riding organization to women. And observant in your critical analysis of riders and their machines.

claudia: What's your blog? I could have sworn you posted that you moved onto a Ducati 696?? I must have imagined it. But from Harley to scooter and then on to Ducati is an interesting path.

My experience with gangs and groups is severely limited. From your descriptions I don't think I would flourish in any of those cultures. I just like to ride.

steve: Didn't someone recently start to manufacture Lambrettas again? Maybe we'll see some new police scooters.

Doug: No wood, just dirt and grime on my minivan. Speaking of minivans---just this evening from Kim's lips emerged the phrase, "We should buy a van'.

There must be something in the air.

BB: Strength and courage comes with numbers for sure. And with booze at times.

I resemble the insecure dork theory. It may be masked better since I ride alone. Perhaps I need to start a gang of one...

Heh-heh! Never thought of any of my Vespas as "mini-vans", but I do consider my MP3 to be, comparatively speaking, an SUV.

Our scooter club welcomes any two-wheel rider. Three wheels are welcome, too -:)

I was proud of the Minivan for your Testicles comment (I'm a regular reader of The Oatmeal). I thought it was funny!

And what's wrong with minivans? You ever try to have a cookout at the park from the back of your Mazda Miata? NOT HAPPENING. All vehicles have their place.
