19 Cupholders and 18 Miles per Gallon

Look what I got today. A silver pearl metallic Honda Odyssey. And it really does have 19 cupholders. We picked it up after Walter's soccer game, and this afternoon I drove it to Gymboree to spend my Gymbucks. I'm officially part of the problem now.

Yesterday for a brief time I was still part of the solution - I was at a political rally and got to see James Carville. Ohio is an exciting place these days.

So does anyone wanna go for a ride? You can bring a beverage. Or two.

I've only been in a minivan once in my life. But 19 cupholders? Wow.

Congrats! We are proud owners of a 2001 Odyssey... Awesome vehicle, never a problem. When we need to buy a new car in the future, we'll probably get another Odyssey.

i've said it elsewhere, but woah! if i had one of those bad boys I'd drive it straight down to tijuana and get it seriously duded out with a chinese dragon, hood to back hatch. Or maybe some killer rad blue flames streaking all the way across the side. But then again, I'm all about looks. And you live REALLY far from Tijuana.

think of all those cupholders as motivation to get in your 8 glasses a day!

Well, congratulations on joining the mini-van revolution. It really was only a matter of time. Can I briing my beverage shaken and not stirred?

Not that I don't believe you, but I really want to check out the Honda website now and learn about those cupholders! Have fun with the new drink-mobile. :)

Oh how I covet your Odyssey. I have a 2001 Ford Windstar I am holding together with Elmer's Glue and a roll of string.

Stop. I don't want my husband to hear about the 19 cupholders. That will be just another reason for him to try to push me toward a minivan.

I own the same car.

I am also part of the problem, and I freaking love it.
