G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Maybe I'm old but if I were a dad with school age kids I'd rock that in a heartbeat. Partially to irritate the other parents and to inspire the kids lolol.

Nice. I was debating if I should get one of those as it fits nicely. I have a bazooka I was using in my old car but I feel like its gonna take up too much space when I put it in the G. Gives me the right amount of good clean bass though.

I have nothing but love for the Honda Odyssey, when I was an apprentice the outfit I worked for had one that we used as a commuter from the shop to the job (35-70 miles one way) we beat the everliving F out of that thing. One time another guy was driving and took the wrong exit and hit a 25mph train track going 70, it was so violent that the guy laying down sleeping in the back seat BOUNCED OFF THE ROOF of the vehicle. The alignment was wonky but they were able to straighten it out without replacing any parts and the only damage was the front fascia was a little loose and we used gorilla duct tape to hold everything straight again.
Decent power with 5 construction worker class men riding in it, roomy, suspension can take quite a load of copper wire and you can haul a LOT of conduit inside the thing!!!

Likewise, granted I've only ever driven an Odyssey once, but growing up my folks had an Accord wagon, and my first car in college was an EK hatch, which saw plenty of abuse and never missed a beat. I can only imagine how hard the life of your companies van was at the hands of a group of non-owners though haha.
My only prolonged experience with minivans came during a week long company trip to a trade show in Vegas. We rented a Nissan Quest and Kia Sedona, and as the self proclaimed (and later imperially proven at multiple kart tracks) best driver of the group, I was able to take the reigns most of the time. One evening we were heading to a company dinner in the Quest, and the casino's parking garage started on the 3rd story with a fairly steep ramp heading in to it, so naturally as soon as I got to the ramp I put my foot to the floor and lit that one-tire-fire. Half way up the ramp I could barely see where I was going, or hear over the single howling tire and van full of cheering coworkers (alright, it was a van full of dudes. I try to leave that detail out when I can get away with it).

I still come here ocassionally. I bought that passenger seat off you a few years back lol. My cousin picked it up from you.
It's inevitable really. As cars age they usually see a decline in the numbers out there and the people that own them. Also what's most disappointing to me is the quality of a majority of new members, over on my GTO forum they're called FPFQ'ers. (Falling prices, falling quality) What kills me is that the prices of G's have plummeted for the most part and now kids are buying high mileage G's for $3000 and want to know how to make the cars shoot flames and the like. The G has truly become the new Honda and although it makes me sad that's the reality we live with.
Back in the day this place was electric, pages and pages of new posts in a majority of the forums every day and we had some characters for sure. Now the G Spot will go 3 days without even a single post. For those that are newer search for people like skeleton_cru and WhosUrBuddiee, they were a riot. If I weren't a mod I'd be on here a lot less but Driver is like any other addiction, you always come back to it even though sometimes you know you shouldn't.
