Default My New Very Mini Van !!!!

To make a long story short.

I sold my 993 Targa to buy a Pre-owned Sienna Minivan.

Everything seem to have worked out until a lien check was done on the Van.

No deal.......

I tried to make a deal on two more pre-owned Honda Oddeseys.......

Both accident claims worth more then the purchase price.

Then this became available.....

I couldn't resist the SPEEDYELLOW !!!!

It fits two child seats in the back !!!!! So much for the Mini-Van.

Was that supposed to be a joke or are you serious? Either way you made the right choice!

Im going to keep an eye out for you at various ice rinks across Toronto as my 996TT is also a minivan!

Sold my last car (2str) to buy something practical. Great minds think alike!

Well done!

Just think of the difference in your kids eyes, no kid wants to go for a drive in a minivan, they want to climb into daddy's Porsche! You don't get this with a minivan:


PS: I think that Porsche "school bus" add had an affect on you...

I know!

The black wheel centers look and contrast nicely against the Speed Yellow. I bought a spare set of Cup IIs that I might have redone in a gun metal, or dark silver/grey of some shade.

Oh, and very nice, by the way.

Just curious...if a Honda Oddessy is considered a 'Mini-Van', what the heck is a 'full sized van'? My daughter has a new Oddessy and it is HUGE...at least next to the 993 :-).

Congrats on the new 'mini-mini van' ! Great colour!
