Our routine rifle/backpack/cartridge Q&As on HT are fairly predictable. My guess is even if we changed the topic they would read the same. If HuntTalk was CarTalk my guess is the typical post would go something like this 
:
-----
NewFamilyMan: My wife and I are expecting our 3rd kid and need to get her a new vehicle for the daily family grind. We live in warm weather so we don't need the extra expense/gas consumption of full sized SUV so we have pretty much settled on getting her a mini-van. We had bad luck with a major US brand a while back so we have decided to stick to either the Toyota Sienna or the Honda Odyssey. We definitely want new - want full warranty, latest safety feature and no hassle with prior owner's screw-ups. So, between the Sienna and Odyssey do any of you have experience to guide us?
SuburbDragster: Sure you don’t have snow now, but what about when you want to go up skiing, you will regret not getting a Suburban SUV.
HowdyNeighbor: Always liked the Sienna, can't wrong with a Toyota.
HellonWheels: +1 on the Sienna
SoccerDad45: Either of those minivans will fit a stripper pole so you should be good to go either way.
OldCoot192: All these electronics in cars are just a mess waiting to happen. I have a 1972 Plymouth Fury 4-door sedan still going strong. I bet if you look around you can get one in good shape for a good price.
PapaJoe111: They are both great cars - have had one of each. Preferred the Odyssey because it got a little better mileage, the back seats folded down flatter and the Sienna had a some nagging front-end alignment issues after we got new tires.
EuroDriver: I haven't kept up with American cars lately, but some classic choices would be the 1970 Mercedes 280SE or the 1963 Austin Healy 3000.
HanginOnForRetirement78: +100 on the Sienna
ThatGuy333: My grandpa always bought Chevy, my dad always bought Chevy, I have always bought Chevy, get yourself a used Chevy Outlander - all you'll ever need.
EcoDude: Get a Telsa and save the planet.
AxeToGrindGuy: The planet is only going to crap because Trump is president [followed by 15 paragraph rant about various Trump appointees]
GrumpySailor17: hey ecodude, don't buy into the warming conspiracy.
EcoDude: GrumpSailor17, stop being a nature hating fascist.
GrumpySailor17: EcoDude, stop being such a commie-pinko p*ssy.
OnTheSideLines55: Ban hammer incoming, 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . .
HanginOnForRetirement78: LOL
BigWheel (admin): I have a month from hell at work and I come back to this chit, unbelievable. This thread is locked and a few of you (you know who you are) can expect your passwords to be blocked.
