Rickety road sores no more



If you have been reading this snarky blog for a while now then you are probably well aware of my great disdain for that nasty, rickety road sore otherwise known as the minivan. Not only have I previously awarded those shit-mobiles with the Ugly Vehicle Award but I also happily take the piss at anyone who intentionally makes the choice to drive one.

So it was much to my delight when I came across this new commercial featuring a hip young boy making fun of lame-ass dorks who drive minivans:



Maybe Toyota finally got a clue and decided to send the stupid Siena minivan the way of the dinosaurs. Now if only we could find a way to get rid of sucky drivers (funny video included in link) as well. …I’m just saying…

  1. I don't have a problem too much with minivans but with just ugly cars. If the car just happens to be a minivan then oh well.

    TO HELL WITH SUCKY DRIVERS! They make me so angry that I curse up a storm...

  2. lol, I fully agree. I really hate mini-vans, and 4x4's. It's nothing to do with the environment, or anything like that. I just don't like the things! It's a shame that these days, even the smaller cars (the peugeot's and Vauxhall's) seem to be going the same way. In ten years, I reckon all cars will look exactly the same, just in very slightly different sizes. And they will all be silver!!

  3. Oh, you wound me to the quick! I happen to like my minivan, thank you very much. Easiest vehicle to have sex in. Just sayin'.

  4. I love this commercial. I especially love the stereotypical Dad dressed in the cut off jeans and mandals with socks in the background there. hahaha.

  5. @The Adorkable Ditz: Shitty drivers should be removed from the roadways and forced to take the bus. Just a thought...

    @DarrenK: Great minds think alike. Silver minivans are the worst!

    @becca: Makes me want to adopt that cutie-pie ; )

    @Danger Boy: Sorry to have offended you my friend. But funny you should mention the sex thing. I was going to write something about how the only thing that a minivan could possibly be good for would be a quiet place to get your screw on after the kids are in bed!

    ------------------
    @Jewels: I'll have to replay and be on the lookout for those mandals.

  7. As the owner of a little car, I hate all those huge vans and four wheel drives. They take up a park and a half and I cant see past the horrible petrol guzzling things. And the drivers think they have thier own set of road rules. Arrogant p.... Yep, probably my #1 pet hate. And dont give silver cars grief. They dont show the dirt and with water restrictions I cant wash mine every week. If you want sex outside the house, pack a picnic rug :P

  9. All of this would be a mute point if:

    (a) Cars drove themselves
    -or-
    (b) Star Trek transporters actually existed

    I *hate* driving and hate it even more when other people are on the road with me and *insist* on doing 10 mph UNDER the speed limit in the FAST lane(s). Gaahhhh!! #$%&#$%&!! :)

    *breaths deeply*

    Don't worry - all better now...until I have to get back into the car.

  10. Between my hubby's two kids (blech) and my two kids, we could never go anywhere together. He suggested a mini van, and I said "fat chance in hell" we could just leave your kids at home! Ended up with a suburban instead :(

  11. Guess I'll just take my minivan driving ass and slink away to the corner while the cool kids exclude me from their reindeer games...Won't be the first time. :(

    JK! You know I don't give a fuck. I don't particularly care for them either, but I have four kids and my husband is the only one working. I have to take what the hell I can get. AND be fucking grateful about it.

  12. @J.Day: I'm with you there but make mine a zippy little convertible!

    -----------------
    @Danger Boy: Whooo! I was worried there cause it is never my intention to offend my lovely readers. Thanks for being a good sport.

    -----------------
    @A Redhead Named Sam: Start Trek transporters, I like that idea a lot!!

    -----------------
    @crazy ramblings of a tired mom: Those Suburbans are ginormous!

    -----------------
    @Mrs. Hyde: So sorry to offend you. You know I love you! There are definitely times that all of us would be grateful for any vehicle we have to drive. I'm just taking the piss at the people who intentionally choose to drive minivans like those "Swagger Wagon" eejits!
