And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    Minivans are DQ’d by another constraint in that they don’t fit in my garage thus I cannot ensure full coverage insurance and can guarantee it would sustain significant damage within a few years as my state has the kind of hail-and-tornadoes weather insurance companies know and hate.

    They’re otherwise amazing especially for cargo capacity. Seeing my auto shop teacher pull two transmissions out of the back of one back in my highschool days… seriously adjusted my opinion of them and their utility.

      Oh dang, that’s a rough constraint. Is it a length problem? I would think the sliding door would be perfect for a tight garage.

        It is a length problem, yes. My Outlander and Volt barely fit lengthwise.

        Apparently Iowa home designers had much less grand expectations of garage capacity back in the '90s.

          My condolences, that sucks Glad you were able to find something that’s worked out for you at least! If you ever need to tow random stuff but don’t want to store a trailer, harbor freight makes one that folds in half and stores vertically.

            That is extremely good to know - that’s going to come in very useful as we start looking around for mower equipment.
