I bought a 2019 Odyssey. Boring thread alert.

I love minivans! Swiss army knife of vehicles.

Side note, you're a saint for what you're doing, I almost forgot about all the other hesthenistic stuff you said over the years.

Awesome story, Cory, especially about the adoption of the new baby. You and your wife are definitely saints. Congrats on the new ride too. They are definitely very nice and functional.

Let's do lunch/dinner again sometime soon! Happy 2019!

Congratulations! A man with a family of three kids should never apologize for getting a minivan. Great choice for your sanity! I watched the Doug DeMuro video on the Odyssey and I wish it had been available when my three kids were young.

Congrats on the purchase! Definitely seems like the best option when you have 3 children. Also, bless you for having those children!

A guy in the office just told me (They have 4 girls, and all are in sports) how well it's worked out for them vs. a large SUV. He then said between sports practice pick-ups, that they can get in a "session" anywhere. I'm like damn dude are you wanting a 5th? He said he got clipped so it's all good. Made my day with laughter.

I hear minivans have a container in the glove box where your soul is stored - is that true?

j/k - Congrats on the purchase; with three kids I totally get it, or even not - as a 16 year old, I drove a full-size conversion van until my mom got wise to that.

Did you look at other makes or was it Honda all the way?

Mr.E.G., with all due respect, you have adopted two children, you get free pass for LIFE. You're a good human.

Yes, it's where it's place after the supplied vacuum cleaner sucks it out of you....

Hahaha. Well, I'm the first to admit that I used to be an angry little butthurt atheist, but I grew up... finally. Thank God. Haha.
