How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs. (www.caranddriver.com)

And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

If your oversized modern SUV can fit, any minivan can fit

Oh? By what numbers, specifically, are you comparing?

The Chrysler Pacifica, for example, comes in at nearly two feet longer than the average mid sized SUV I ended up getting.

    Length isn't the limiting factor for most "average" SUVs in getting into a garage. Height and width are the issues. I've never had a garage or carport that I couldn't park my mother's Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van in, and that's even longer than the Pacifica. Meanwhile, my friend can't get his Explorer into his garage, cause it will hit the roof.

    You seem to be making quite the generalization there - while not actually providing any numbers.

    I’ve never had a garage or carport that I couldn’t park my mother’s Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van in, and that’s even longer than the Pacifica.

    That's awesome. Unfortunately, your experience doesn't change that my garage does not allow for the length of a van.
