One is an attractive, 6 cylinder future classic, and the other is an M3.
Had some fun rolling around in my moms van yesterday while I took it to get new tires. It's frighteningly easy to engage traction control when it's even slightly wet.

Got a similar stable here. 2007 Odyssey touring and a 2006 BMW 330xi.

Find TC button, hold for 5 seconds, enjoy smokey FWD burnouts.

I think this gen odyssey is more of a future classic:
my dad has this gen in this color (surprisingly with the original trans and no issues with it). Not actually his van, it's too dark right now to go take a pic. In my opinion it's the best looking gen

I myself actually drive an '07 328i, I just couldn't resist parking next to this gorgeous M3 at the mall.

Woah there, I spent a few hours at the shop getting new tires on. The last thing I'd want to do is put that all to waste lol!

I also just saw your comment on the traction control. I get wheelspin if I give it too much throttle on a wet road with the Odyssey, so yes, it's a common "Problem".

I know someone who had one until last fall. They rebuilt the transmission, and sold it. The family has a brand spankin' new one now.

my dads is fun to drive, it's pretty nimble at speeds above 30. But it's still huge.

I like those, I don't like the transmission drama though. My parents '05 has been great so far. Just had a recall this year though, was your dads affected? It was fuel pump related.

You should've set the old tires free!

Luckily it's pretty easy to control, but it's still pretty strange. I've also noticed it in my dads '07 accord, but I just blamed it on the nearly bald tires.

It was pouring so I took it easy, I'm not used to driving it.

we weren't effected by the fuel pump recall. We've also never had trans issues, and we have beat on that thing from day one, it's even been off-roading

They really are tough vans. The V6 isn't too bad either. If I ever need a minivan I'll go with an odyssey, they really are great and not just for a minivan.

they really are good vans, that j series v6 is a beast. I prefer to drive that over my mom's 2010 crv, that thing is crap.

It's really easy to drive too, not hard to get used to. I don't wanna say it's a sports car, but it's more nimble than it looks.

exactly it's weird, you know it's a big car but at speed, it handles like a sportscar

and it's soooooo easy to park. I always feel like I park badly but when I get out it's perfect. This car is made for being a good driver haha.

I know, I've never parked badly because of it, it makes you aware of your surroundings

I'm even better at parking my own car now. If I have kids I now know what I'll teach them to drive in!

I was driving my girlfriends cavalier a while back and I had to remind myself that the car was a ordinarily proportioned

Haha yeah, after driving the van I always swing wide when I'm gonna park

Me too. The odyssey's fun to drive though, in a way you wouldn't expect

I know what you mean, what I like about it is the fact that you can just drive it like an appliance when you want to or you can push it when you really want to drive

exactly, it's the perfect hoon mobile, it's responsible when it needs to be but takes curvy roads at speed like a champ

Why don't you steal the M3?

I wish I did. Manual trans and red leather. SEX!

Can't you have them sell it to you for like $6532?

Hmm I should've left a note!
