...............and then there are those silly ricer kids with stereo stickers all over their cars, who after you've spanked the tape off their soiled diapers, who pull back up besides you at the next light and yell out angerly their buddies Honda Vtech would smoke you...........I generally reply by asking them, if their girl friends would like to take a ride with a winner. Of course the bride just smiles............lol

The Sedona is my winter beater, or when I need to move something bigger than a shoebox.

And yeah, surprisingly it's easy to chirp the wheels, and it doesn't have any problem on hills or passing. I always thought it was kinda ballsy for a mini-van, glad to see I'm not the only one.

(sorry for momentary thread jack

)

It's so weird here in San Diego. No one ever tries to race me. Too many stuck up snarky people and hippies I guess.

Minivans... proof car companies hate kids and soccer moms by making them so unsafe.

Tommy Pike Customs · 11-08-2010, 07:29 AM

I think those Toyota Sienna "Swagger Wagon" commercials have given mini van owners a false sense of what the mini van is capable of. Pretty funny though. Laying down rubber in a mini van is a little impressive

I know of an AWD mini van that is a rather heavily modded LS1...

You are however correct, some people are just too stupid.

It wasn't one of these was it?

I do think this car, for some reason, does bring out the worst in people.....other drivers that is. I was noticing this just the other day when a guy in a little Kia Sephia with wife, child and "baby on board" sticker in the window, was taking on TWO Camaro SS. He was just crazy....darting around one or the other of us...jumping in between the two of us (who were obviously cruising together). Then the next weekend, I kept having this minivan mess with me. I don't engage them, but it is usually funny...unless they are truly being reckless.

Is it because of the sound???? My car has headers, hi-flows and full exhaust, so it is louder than the average Camaro. Therefore, I sound much "badassier" than I actually am. Don't get me wrong, this car is quite fast, but I'm not supercharged or anything.

it was TT...don't be fooled

Didn't really read all the thread replies, but what does that say about you, OP, that you actually thought a guy was trying to race you in a Chrysler minivan?

Bonanza7 · 11-09-2010, 06:41 PM

Matchbook:... Well Smart A, He floored it and was pushing it as hard as he could.. I call that trying to race. Are all of your replies Smart A?
