Not an exaggeration. Three separate incidents in 15 minutes. Incident #1. After a beer run at 7-Eleven I pull up to a stop light. There's a person in a Chevy Traverse probably half a car length ahead of me. Suddenly, their reverse lights go on. Light immediately turns green and they gun in IN REVERSE. I lay on the horn but they bump my dad's Suburban anyway. No damage to the Sub, crunched in bumper for the Traverse. I started to get out of my car but they took off. Weird.

Incident #2. I'm waiting to take a left hand turn onto Geyer Rd when I see a police officer pulling somebody over. If you take a look at my extremely technical drawing, you will notice the white blob used to indicate me in the Suburban. The parking lot circled in red is where the cop pulled the guy over. Anyways, the man in the Hyundai being pulled over drives in to that parking lot and the cop was just a few feet behind him. His car comes to a stop, the guy gets out AND MAKES A RUN FOR IT. The cop immediately jumped out of his car and gave chase.

The red arrow indicated the direction in which the Hyundai driver ran. I'm just sitting there witnessing the whole thing like

Incident #3. I saw a minivan. Not just any minivan. It was a 2015 Kia Sedona. I'm going to be completely honest right here: it's actually a great looking van. I never thought I'd find myself liking a van, but here we are.

So much excitement I need a beer. Good thing I got plenty!

Can't decide if that van looks good. A bit too much like an SUV or do I like it?

The picture doesn't do it justice. You'll have to see one in person. FAR better than the previous generation. Really boxy and long. Definitely a handsome van. It's like a weird mix of the new suburban and a minivan.

Here it is again. Looks awesome in white.

I like the silver/brown a bit better. Waist line is 6" too high, but agreed it is good looking overall.

You did not just insult a Suburban

I was involved in a booping incident with a van years ago. No visible damage was done but it was a pretty hard boop. A woman gets out, who cannot speak English, and insists everything is fine, no need for cop, she won't even LOOK at the damage. She gets back in and speeds off. Probably no insurance/license/citizenship.

Haha what the hell?? Luckily I took my dad's suburban in stead of my Datsun. Would have been bad news!

The Suburban looks like a hearse, but not in the badass way. He just insulted the Kia.

Jesus where the hell do you live? Oh wait... Sounds like the average day in St. Louis to me!

I really like how the Kia looks. Like dayum I'd drive that and I swore off owning another van ever again.

for mini vans I think the quest looks cool bit only from the back. I was at a red light and the girl next to me floored it. I mean pedal to the metal fast and furious style . It wouldn't have been anything too crazy except she was like 3rd in line. Yea that didn't end well.

That's really neat little truck! It's amazing how much disparity exists within the model.

Reminds me of when the Acura MDX came out and (at least according to C&D) Honda kinda went out of their way "to make sure people wouldn't confuse it with a minivan" with their marketing. As if a vehicle shaped like an SUV, with high ground clearance and five non-sliding doors would be confusing to anybody.

The Kia looks like a minivan to me, just with chunkier looking proportions to evoke manliness.
