Default Where I live, married men drive their minivans like they're Formula 1 vehicles...

they never seem to have the wife'n'kids with them, but they TRY to corner, accelerate, brake & change lanes at speeds nearing what I do in my S4. It is absolutely hilarious. I always feel like stopping at the next light and giving a little "Buddy, you're not actually driving that Porsche you're wife wouldn't let you buy!".

And while I'm at it, who's the genious that came up with the concept "Sport" for a Dodge Caravan. Every time I see one, I think "Oh yeah, 16" wheels for those balloons, must be a sports-minivan". Like these P.O.S. will ever have a sporty feel, handling or performance.

Just my 2¢.

Default The Chrysler PT Cruiser mini-minivan actually can handle

To some extent, anyhow. It's based upon the Neon.

Yes, but that's a mini-minivan. I implicitly referred to mini-vans! :-)

Default exactly..

i was coming home today, going up a hill in a 45mph zone, with poker in front of me doing 40, i suppose. i stayed 3 car lengths back from him as u never know when he'll slam the barkes for a passing mouse or something (the pokers here do athat sort of thing) when a minivan comes up in my trunk and rides it. so, i just take my foot off the gas. duh. doesnt he think that if i COULD go faster, i would? so he starts flashing ME. well, he knows its a no passing zone, so he's stuck behind the poker just as I am and flashing lights at me wont get him home any faster. then, honks at me as i turn off at my turn.
i just yawned.

Default Find that 0-60 time hard to believe

I have no problem trouncing V8 Grand Cherokees with my '95 Maxima, let alone my S4. I don't know enough about Jeeps to know if the ones I've encountered are MY2000, but they are new enough to have the new vertical grill.
