Moms and minivans
I can’t help myself today. I have a gripe and I have to vent it. I’m driving to work this morning on a highway. Everyone is doing at least 65 mph … except crazy lady soccer mom minivan driver (I can call her that b/c she had soccer stickers all over her vehicle). She could not be stopped. I watched in my rear view mirror as she zoomed up the highway zigzagging in and out of lanes like a bat out of hell. Seriously … why is it that I see more crazy lady minivan drivers speeding and driving recklessly than I do people who drives typical sports cars like corvettes or camaros. Here’s a news flash crazy lady soccer mom minivan driver – SLOW THE “F” DOWN – YOU ARE DRIVING A MINIVAN -NOT A CORVETTE.
I’ve never understood why I see people driving like freaks in minivans. The fact that they are in minivans shoud indicate extra safe driving is warranted b/c they are toting children around. But no, they drive like wild beasts. And I don’t care if children aren’t in the vehicle either. There’s no excuse to drive like that regardless of what you drive. I remember years ago riding in a minivan with a friend and as we merged onto the highway, she hit the gas and that minivan took off like a nascar race car. I was like “did they put a jet engine in this thing?” I’m thinking the auto makers out there need to rethink the engines they put in minivans b/c does a minivan need to go from 0-75 mph in 2.5 seconds? No! Enuff said!
My minivan has good pickup.
Hey, when you’re late for lacrosse practice. 
I don’t do all that weaving in and out of traffic, though. Honestly, that’s a pet peeve of mine for any driver. I have to say, though, there are alot of vehicles that go flying down our street (main neighborhood road). Many of them are moms in minivans yapping on their cell phones.

Yea, they are driving like that with a cell phone in one hand and a biscuit in the other – must be steering with their knee.
Great post!
