Why I Hate Minivans
Okay, so I don't hate minivans, just the women that drive them.
Yesterday morning I was driving from my home to downtown. The first minivan I encountered was a woman driver who tailgated me so close that I couldn't see the majority of her hood in my rear view mirror. We were going through a playground zone! Since it was a minivan, the chances of that woman having children are pretty high in my estimation, and she still tailgated me. Whose children would she like me to run over? Probably not hers, but it seems she has no problem speeding through when it's anyone else's kids.
Second: not even five minutes later I was on the commuter road into Edmonton, where the speed limit is 70 and people are jam packed for 3 lanes. Another woman in a minivan decided to go at least 10 UNDER the speed limit here, slowing down the entire lane.
I must ask...what is it with women in minivans? Is it like the female equivalent of old men in trucks? They are higher than everyone else on the road, so they'll do what they like? Maybe this is a sexist, chauvanistic rant, but I am not proud of this. But lately, every time someone cuts me off, tailgates, or drives like they can't see, I look over and it's a minivan with a woman driver.
Lord help me if I ever get a minivan...I'll probably leave my driving brain at home too.

its rob...
should i comment on you driving in vancouver?
So, what if your 'significant other' gets a minivan? Are men OK at driving minivans? I know I'm considering getting another one - I loved my last one, especially for ski trips!
I find it ironic that your two examples of crappy driving by minivanized women are exactly the opposite - two fast, and too slow... kind of reminds me of the Goldilocks story. :)
It's probably even worse in America. These minivans are terrorizing the roadways. It truly is a shame. I was tailgated for at least 10 minutes yesterday, and I was driving 10 miles OVER the speedlimit as it was, and of course, as soon as the vehicle was able to pass me, it was not only a minivan, but one with a soccer decal on the back window. I wanted to slap her in the face. That idiot. On occasion, I even see a man driving one of these feminine machines. As soon as a man sits in the driver's seat of a minivan, his penis must shrivel up for the duration of the drive. When I drive my car, I still feel manly, but no way I could if I was in a minivan. That would be like wearing panties.
