The key to the minivan, which no suv can match, is the sliding side doors. When the kids get big enough to get themselves into their seats, just hit the sliding door button and they can get themselves in. What a lifesaver.

My son used to call the minivan the "magic car" because of the auto sliding doors. Now he loves the Porsche. He pronounces it correctly too!

My kids wouldn't know what a "Porsh" is if someone said it. They only know it as a Porsh "a". Now if I had a Lamborgini, they may have some difficulty pronouncing it. I guess its a good thing I don't have one

Since the first rumors of the Pepper, I thought that a super high performance sedan seemed to be a better idea in keeping with the sporting tradition of Porsche. Ferrari and Maserati have both done it sucessfully. I used to have an M5 and had it on the track several times (with a babyseat in back). It was a blast to drive and definitely a wolf in sheeps clothing.

My wife would NEVER drive a minivan but I might get an old beater minivan to haul stuff from Home Depot to work on the house and the rentals. Very handy to have dry haulage in the wet North West. Wouldn't be caught dead in a P minivan or any other for day to day driving! Just an attiturde thing!

A station wagon could be pretty cool.

BMW made a E34 (1991-1995) M5 station wagon in Europe. They were never imported here, but some individuals have brought them over on their dime. REALLY neat cars. Plenty of room to haul track tires and gear

BTW - I too am friends with DJ and will support him in public. I like him because he's the only one I know with better guns than me.

No Robert
EJ is on the east coast, and races a radical.
DJ is on the west coast, and is bigger than an SRF

I think EJ likes France
DJ likes Popcorn dipped in scotch.

LOL...I guess have too many people on my Ignore List so I'm not quite sure where this anti-DJ thing is coming from but I'll state that DJ is my friend too and I'll stand behind him any day of the week...oh...except after burrito night...
