          Thanks. I actually really like it. Minivans get a bad rap but they have so much room and they ride so smooth. And captains chairs.

            Minivans are badass. Only one car in America is mid-engined, RWD, supercharged with a 5sp AND has a swiveling captain chair: the Toyota Previa

            I will never publicly admit it, but I had to rent a car to move some stuff a few years back and ended up with an odyssey. Smoothest, most comfortable ride I’ve ever had.

            Would I spend money on buying one? Not a chance, but I won’t pass one on the road without thinking how nice of a drive they can be.

            Of course, I purposely choose to drive a bumpy-ass jeep wrangler with a loose steering wheel, so to each their own I guess.

    • I have my ears stretched to 16mm (it’s sizeable, but not overly large) and I will 100% of the time go out of my way to compliment others about their stretched ears. Those of us with larger gauge sizes have been at this for a lot of years and it’s a ton of effort and care. Every single time I end up with a beaming smile in my direction. I know the (very very infrequent) times I get a compliment on them I react the same way.

      Everybody is proud of something they’ve done and compliments are free. So why not make somebody’s day.
