What do you think of the Kia Soul ?

Im olde skool. Some of the best memories I cant remember happened
in a Dodge van in the '70s :D Fun times !

Here is my Holy Grail :

I personally really like the look of the soul, but probably would never rock one. I have a scion xB, the real one, the box; not that suv looking new one. I love the older vans, the vans that started it all. If I could get my hands on one, I wouldn't let go. Little red wagon

We have a first gen XB, too.
We got the first one in Lancaster PA. The dealership made a big deal of it, took
our pictures, etc :lol: You know Lanc. Pa, Im sure...... all farm and Amish.
People would sprain their necks dbl taking when it went by :lol:
Little kids point, laff, and make this square sign with their hands, too funny !
Now, years later, its been up and down the East Coast from Maine to FL. a few times
and just keeps running, My Wife will never let it go :)

I like wagons. This is the grey ghost. She's a '78 dodge aspen special edition with cherry red vinyl interior. fits 5 friends, 2 beer coolers, 4 surfboards, and endless fun.

Blog is still going strong!!

It's pretty big now and I am still working hard at it.

I actually own a 2004 Mazda MPV and I can't imagine driving anything else but a minivan :) Or nothing at all. I may go car-free, but if I don't my next automobile will be a minivan too, preferably with 4 wheel drive, but not SUV.

Seats are removable. I permanently removed the 3rd row. With one middle seat removed there is room for three people, three bikes and lots of luggage. With both middle seats removed I moved bookcases in this thing :)

Some of my earliest memories were of being driven around in a '58 Edsel wagon. Loved wagons and vans ever since. Picked up our first minivan a year ago. The thing is too practical to be believed. Better than a pick-up in 95% of all situations. I still want a classic '70s van. A Chevy van with side pipes, little bowtie windows, Super Scoop on top, and a airbushed hot babe on the side.

The thing is too practical to be believed.

Seriously. With the rear seats removed I slept in it comfortably, enough room for a air mattress, when it was too late or I was too tired to pitch a tent. Sliding side doors, etc. I was so bummed when Mazda dropped the MPV. I was hoping for a 4-wheel drive version with a better sound system :( They say the CX9 is a replacement, but that's a freaking crossover/SUV, its cargo capacity is nowhere near the MPV. They still sell MPV in Japan and it looks badass. There is a rumor they may bring back a hybrid MPV back to USA. The SUV killed the minivan in the USA :(
