I never understood mini-vans... why, you can put SO many more kids into the bed of a pickup than you can get in any mini-van! Think of the advantages: you could car-pool you entire neighborhood, or carry the whole soccer team at one time, especially if you get the cattle-gates on the side and back. Plus, there's always room for at least a half-a-dozen more if you lower the tail-gate.
What were you thinkin'?!!?
