Let 'em laugh, Wayne. I predict the day won't be far in your future when something will come up...something needing hauling, a parking lot you won't want to leave your P-car in...something. Then you'll say: "Hey Honey, do you mind if I take the minivan today?" Say this without shame, Wayne....it's a mark of maturation, a sign that the folly of youth is leaving and that some practicality in life is entering...
The guys giving you a hard time? It's a good natured hard time. But I'll bet they have all had a time they wished they were in a more utilitarian vehicle than a 911.
