$2000 in the piggy bank for the black 6-series?
Never. I do covet the Honda Odyssey, however.
Because ogged wants to be a stylish serial killer.
As the ex mockingly explained to friends who asked me the same question a couple of years ago, "It's just so darn practical!" I'm pretty sure the Odyssey-coveting was the real reason I got dumped.
A terrific utilitarian choice. Howevre, given that you're single, I can only assume you plan to turn it into a shaggin-wagon or you're planning on some extended road trips. Or, you're a serial killer.If the latter, I just want to say that I'm very disappointed in you, Ogged.
People, serial killers drive vans, not mini-vans.
It's true. I need to think of a type of victim first. Fro-haired Jewish dudes, maybe. First you, then Gladwell, but then who? Art Garfunkel, maybe ("But I'm bald," he'll say with his dying breath).

Gladwell has a fro? This changes everything.

They were limited to vans back in the day. There is no reason to think that they haven't adapted as their options have increased.

His mother is black, I think. (I was going to say "African American", but realized that he's from Canada, and what's the term for that, anyway?)
but then who?
Is Michael Hardt Jewish?
Canada is part of America, but, I vote for just using "black."
I think BMW is supposed to introduce a minivan this August. Or possibly next.
Minivans have weird centers of gravity. I always feel like I'm going to tip over when I go around corners.

If Ogged is planning on serially killing "little people," though...
Is any mfr. bringing out a hybrid minivan anytime soon?
(you know, since this is now the official soccer-mom thread.)
Toyota is next year, and the Mercury Mariner almost counts.
Thanks, apo. Do you know anyone who's had any experience of the Mariner?
Do you know anyone who's had any experience of the Mariner?
Is that a euphemism?
If you're asking literally, no.
If I wanted to talk to someone who's experienced sailors, I'd know where to go.
By owning a minivan you could go against the stereotype of serial killers owning vans.
ogged, you should at least have a stickshift with a cobra on it. And possibly shag carpet. Some airbrushed mermaids swimming next to the Virgin Mary who is weeping with an eagle over a flag while mustangs cavort with skulls adorned with roses wouldn't be amiss, either.
I swear I saw that exact mural on a lowrider the other day.
27: See 18. Possibly, but not automatically.
Why would you want a minivan if you didn't have a bunch of oggedlettes to port around?
I have a technical bleg. Does anyone know a good, cheap way of teaching oneself Filemaker Pro?
oggedlettes
They were delicious.

No -- wait! -- trust your first instinct on that one.
"His mother is black, I think."
Carribean, last I looked, and I'm too lazy to double-check just now, but he's written about his family a number of times, as well as how they've affected his own "racial" perspectives. It's all at his website; you know how to find it. (Tons of great articles there, which, naturally, I've blogged about years ago.)
You know, Ogged, if you haven't pulled the trigger yet, you might want to check this out: Apple is retiring the PowerBook line and replacing it with the dual core Intel MacBook Pro. 4-5x faster than the current PowerBooks, or so the hype goes.
Thanks. Was just (as in really just right now) reading about those. I haven't bought one, and don't really need one just at the moment.
Jeez, I skip one thread, and it's the one where Ogged promises to go on a fro-haired Jewish dude killing spree. Not getting into any Honda Odysseys driven by Adrien Brody lookalikes, I tell you that.
