Coworker said minivans are "giving up." I defended them. Have you SEEN the interior space? The sliding doors? Cup holders everywhere? Yeah it's not a sports car but I got 3 kids and I actually need to move stuff. I think minivans are lowkey the best kept secret for dads. Don't @ me
The sliding doors alone are worth it. My Odyssey paid for itself in sanity when I didn't have to wrestle three kids into car seats. Plus you can fit a full 4x8 piece of plywood inside. That's not giving up, that's being smart.
The real giving up is buying a sports car when you have three kids and then complaining about how cramped it is. Minivans are honest vehicles. They do exactly what they're supposed to.
Your coworker is thinking about minivans wrong. It's not about the car, it's about what you can do with your family. We take our Odyssey on road trips and the space to stretch out is incredible. Kids are way happier.
Honestly minivans are peak dad efficiency. You get maximum utility and you don't have to pretend you like working on cars. Just push a button and the doors open. That's engineering.

Tell your coworker that the minivan is the ultimate power move because you don't care what anyone thinks anymore. You've got kids. You know what works. The sliding doors changed my life.
