Minivans And The Myth Of Manliness- Masculinity is what you make of it, and a minivan is exactly what you need. Quote No one is making those sorts of assumptions about a guy who drives a minivan. The only thing people can tell is that you're someone who values practicality and usability. You're someone who doesn't mind taking the kids to school or soccer practice. You're a part of the community — a person who is there to be a friend and neighbor and lend a helping hand with your five Stow n' Go seats. I'm sure there are Chud minivan owners out there, as no group is a monolith, but I bet they are fewer and farther between than Chud full-size SUV owners. So, next time you're shopping for a family car, give a minivan some real consideration. You will not be sorry, and I promise no one is going to call you "gay." If they do, they're just jealous they aren't secure enough to pull a van off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss the low window sills on 90's-Y2K vehicles, resting my elbows on today's window sills is awkward at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorpsychology Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 https://www.thedrive.com/news/gm-heavy-duty-pickups-will-keep-allison-transmission-branding-after-all Key takeaways: Allison has not built transmissions for GM since the 2020 MY, the Allison badging is just a licensing agreement. "This agreement will reinforce to customers that Chevy and GMC HD Trucks are equipped with trusted, Allison-branded* 10L1000 10-speed transmission that delivers the performance, capability, and durability customers expect.” - unnamed GM spokes person *bold italics mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
