Am I the only one still waiting to get my Camry fixed? Our appointment isn't until Wed. The dealership is giving us a Sienna to drive for our valentine's weekend get-a-way.

On a side note, someone call my hubby and tell him 2 teenagers and a preteen do not a romantic get-a-way make.

Word on the street is that there are really only 2 minivans to get, the Odyssey or the Sienna.

I'm leaning toward the Sienna because of the 4wd. Chicago is not a place to be driving sportscars or rearwheel drive anything. Even frontwheel drive is just ok.

4wd or nothin' for me, and the Sienna is the only mini that offers it.

I've been hearing that Toyota is struggling right now.

And not just because of that accelerator stuff.

Dunno.

I'm contemplating getting a Sienna, yeah, I'm that guy with the two carseats and minivan (maybe).

Let me know what you think of it.

My wife drives a Sienna. We got it about 4 months ago. She LOVES it.

She had a Nissan Quest before and it was a piece of crap. Drove bad...rattled...constant issues.

However, the Sienna has been very nice. I would recommend one if you must drive a minivan. Better....have wife drive minivan and you get a convertible.

That is my dream anyway.

I pick it up at 5 today. I'll let you know my first impressions. I can't remember in all the years Chris has been in cars, if he ever drove one home. I've driven every other van, though.

This week, he's been driving a mini cooper. I wish everyone could see Chris and both kids getting in that thing every morning. I'd love to keep it, but that won't happen.

Just drive your camery, You should be fine. Of course the dealership won't tell you this cuz they don't wanna be liable .. If you pedal happens to stick just throw your car in netural or you can hold the start button down for 3 seconds and you car will turn off.. To many people just freeze in shock when their car has an isssue soooo if anything happens just stay calm and do the things I stated.

As for minivans the best minivan on the market is the Mercedes Benz R class

The Quest we drove a couple of weeks ago was the same way. Electrical issues, too. The radio wouldn't work if you put it in reverse. My main issue was the turning ratio. I am not a bad parker. I can back a dually with a 20 ft trailer with no problem, let alone park it. I couldn't get the quest in a parking space to save my life.

Why should I drive my Camry when the dealership is offering a van? I drive it around town. My car doesn't have a start button. I turn the key.

Oh ok by the op I got the assumption that you weren't happy with driving a minivan lol.

No, it's all the kids going. One isn't even ours. LOL

Seriously, it's been a rough year for us. I can't leave them at home the first chance we get to go somewhere for the weekend. They'd better remember this later in life.

      It may not be exact science and this FO is relatively new, but it is very much likely the first couple picks will be of players we met.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By firefox1234 · Posted

      The only other position group I could think of is ILB since Dan was there for Rodriguez and Hill Jr. pro days in Texas. It’s one of the reasons I get the feeling ILB could be the pick at 19.

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
