What production minivan has a V8? I can't even think of one looking back to the 1980s.

I've ridden with people that drive like that. Self-driving cars can't come soon enough.




Toyota Sienna. Before that, it was a Chrysler Town & Country, which she went through four transmissions on before finally giving up on it. Looking it up, I guess it was a V6, but it had some serious power on it.

I just found it funny that brake jobs on that poor minivan always cost shitloads of money because she always ground the pads all the way down to the metal and obliterated the rotors. I'm sure that the mechanic always sighed and shook his head ruefully at her.

When I took my fiancee home to meet the folks, she made her carsick. I found this hilarious because I'd grown up with it, so it was completely normal for car rides to be ZOOM-STOP-ZOOM-STOP the whole way.

For the record, I drive like a grandma.
