Minivan console Organizer

A few years ago, I made the mistake of letting my husband pack our car for vacation. We had only been on the road half an hour when my youngest asked for a drink. “The cooler is in the back, ” my husband said. So I had to instruct my daughter how to climb in the back of the station wagon, move a few items and dig out a drink. Not only was this unsafe, but it was messy. When the next child asked for a snack, I told him to look in the grocery bag by his feet, unfortunately, there …

Minivan to Camper Conversion

This picture gives an idea how i had the underbed storage set up. On the left is a sideways milk crate that held our cooking kit, mugs, a drawstring bag for cutlery, etc - the kitchen crate .

Heavy lines indicate closed sides of crates. Obviously the back two corners couldn t hold anything you needed easy …

Lamborghini minivan

A 455-hp V-12 from the Countach Quattrovalvole? A pair of gullwing doors? Minivans may be more boring than watching paint dry, but every rule has an exception. This is it. It is easy to view Lamborghini as nothing more than the quintessential Italian supercar manufacturer, a Ferrari for people in tracksuits with a penchant for cocaine and Day-Glo colors. That couldn t be further from the truth. Even though a certain Lamborghini pioneered the notion of the modern supercar, Ferruccio …

Last redesigned for 2008, the Grand Caravan is getting old, and it is now being positioned …

Town N Country minivan

Outside noise shouldn’t be a concern when riding in the 2016 Town & Country, as the cabin stays quietly isolated even at cruising speed. The front seats offer plenty of room all around, and kids can easily fit in the last two rows. The second- and third-row seats, however, have deeply reclined seatbacks that may be uncomfortable for adults on longer trips. If you regularly shuttle adults in the back rows, the Honda Odyssey is the best choice in the class. The Town & …
