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

Thanks. You're too kind.

For sure. I'll text you. Thanks for the offer.

Thank you guys so much for the kind words about my family. I've had a couple people say something like, "Wow. Those kids are lucky to have you." I assure you, that's exactly backwards. :-)

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?

LOL @ at your high school van story. That's funny.

I didn't look at any other models. I've had good luck with Honda reliability, plus my wife has a friend with one, so she had target fixation.

Minivan is the best form of birth control there is. Meanwhile I'll keep trying to cram my 2 year old in the back of my 2 door sports car.

My wife doesn't want anything but a Honda V6. Can't say I blame her. Too bad they're an endangered species now. At least the Odyssey still packs one.

My back hurts just thinking about that.

When I was an engineer at Honda, I always loved taking the Odysseys as a pool car. So nice in so many ways, extreme versatility. Congrats on the purchase!! Hope you enjoy it!
