Scott doesn't.
C'mon... how can anyone resist the luxurious amenities of a minivan?! Have you seen the commercials for these things? Swivel backseats, dual dvd players, the doors open with the touch of the remote, the van STARTS with the touch of a remote, heated seats, navigation, a table! Really, it's nicer than my house.
Somehow, none of this was very convincing to Scott.
However, give the husband some credit. He did accompany me on a little excursion just to "check them out." I'm pretty sure he was secretly impressed, even though he's not letting on.
I must admit, I am feeling a little guilty about driving poor Civic to different car dealerships and flaunting the new minivans right in his face. Civic has been very faithful for many years, ten and a half to be exact. So what if Civic doesn't have keyless entry! So what if Civic's overhead light has never come on when you open the door! So what if driving a stick shift makes it really hard for me to drink my Starbucks and talk on the cell phone at the same time! So what if 1997 Civic is still in the prime of his life at only 74,000 miles! So what if Civic gets over 30 miles per gallon and gas is over 3 bucks! Poor Civic. He's a good little car...
...but check out these minivans...
I know, I know. All of my SUV driving friends out there are feeling a little tempted right about now. Don't be afraid to cross over to the dark side.

There is one way I know to change Scott's mind: Borrow a friend's kids and try putting them all in car seats and boosters in anything but a minivan -- painful for everyone.
That said -- I won't buy one either :)
I know Scott is really fighting the minivan idea - I always swore I'd never be a minivan mom, but I LOVE my odyssey! We tried cramming two carseats in our volvo and realized that we were stuck. The nice thing about minivans is that you have so much more room than an SUV AND they're not as noisy and bulky as SUV's...it's all about preference, but we have never regretted our purchase. :)
Now this made me laugh!
