I used to have a 5-speed turbo caravan...

 

No matter what roto drives now, or what he used to drive...he still blows for quarters

 

i love driving the family oddessy...and yeah down here in florida, every-freakin-body has a mini-van...

 

mini vans have some nice powerthats why everyone drives fast..plus all the soccer moms have to pick up there kids from soccer

i heard that the car companys now are really slowing down the production of them now because the "crossover" vehicles are starting to take over,because of there better look/function and thats what the younger consumers are looking for instead of mini vans

 

Its sitting so high up that makes you feel like your going slower.

 

I was looking at a Buick Terraza yesterday (a dealer brought one over to our event at work) and holy heck, that thing has an air pump in the back! If that isn't a soccer mom car, I don't know what is.

My family has an Odyssey too--it's a nice drive but I have to keep an eye on the speedo because that thing goes too fast (and it's bright red).

 

lol its called the speed index

 

Man, I noticed this a while back also here in California, I was wondering if I was crazy or if in fact they do drive Dodge Caravans 90 mph plus, even in moderate traffic.
The average decked out Civic, does not average anywhere near what the average mini van does as far as mph.

 

actually an average 3.3 caravan can barely get to 90 mph. It kinda tops out at 95, so I'm sure it averages the same 80mph the civics do

 

i know an odessy with the 3.5 and 240hp will go 120mph
