I saw a pickup, it had a second row of seats - is that a guy with kids who can’t bring himself to buy a station wagon? It had what looked like a big dent in the driver’s side, behind the second row of seats, with a silhouette of Wile E. Coyote - like when he’s fallen into the ground or run into a cliff. Today I saw a compact with a dent in the fender, above the wheel (how does it get dented there?) with a big bandaid over it. They were moving so I couldn’t stop to investigate. Were these art, not accidents? ---

Probably accidents with decals to obscure the damage. Your eyes go to the art and not so much the damage. A crew cab pickup can be a good choice for a family vehicle if the owners want the extra utility compared to any enclosed cargo bay. Minivans are closer to pickups in utility than any SUV. ---

> [@jtsanders](#): > > Minivans are closer to pickups in utility than any SUV. That reminds me of the new (for my area anyway) glass commercial where they are putting what looks like 8’ 2x4’s in the back of their full size SUV and pushed a little to hard and cracked the windshield, I was like my old Grand Caravan could haul 7 people around with luggage inside or pull both row seats out, leaving front of course, and slide a 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood in and close the rear hatch and not touch the front seats… Lot of room, just doesn’t have the payload of a full size SUV… ---

> [@RandomTroll](#): > > Were these art, not accidents? Generally it’s cheaper to add some light hearted humor and admit your error than it is to have the damage properly repaired. First saw this 20+ years ago on a buddy’s car. Boyd might have had one too many before leaving the tavern because he drove his '37 Chevy into a light pole denting the fender. At the next show-and-shine he had a big Homer Simpson face and “Doh!” painted over the damage. ---

Maybe I should do that in my wife’s Odyssey. She backed into a parking spot and hit a tree limb. It dented the rear hatch at the crease just below the window. I tried to convince her to get it repaired with our insurance, but she refuses. Or maybe I should show her the decals and ask her if she wants one. Maybe that will convince her to get the hatch fixed. ---

I bought my first minivan ( unless you consider a 71 VW bus a minivan ) in 1997. It was a 5 year old Plymouth Voyager just off lease with 47000 miles on it. Even though it was the short wheelbase model, it would haul 7 people or I could put my 32" 1978 I-H riding mower or my 1972 Airens snowblower in it. I towed a tent camper with it with canoes on top and it would also haul 4 x 8 sheets of plywood, but the stuck out about a foot and I had to tie the hatch to the hitch. ---

> [@oldtimer-11](#): > > it would also haul 4 x 8 sheets of plywood, but the stuck out about a foot and I had to tie the hatch to the hitch. I can see definitely the merit of a minivan that could easily haul a few sheets of plywood. As long as it wasn’t too big of a problem to be able get the plywood in place. Wouldn’t bother me if the wood wouldn’t fit w/rear hatch down. That’s what rope is for. Hauling plywood is a doodle with a pickup truck, one of the pickup’s advantages. ---

> [@RandomTroll](#): > > Even those ‘pickups’ with the tiny beds? Not as much of a doodle, but still doable. If the bed is too short to haul 8 foot lengths, open the tailgate and let it stick out behind, tie on a warning flag. If bed is too narrow for 4 foot wide plywood, lay it in the bed at an angle. ---

You could always get one of those humorous wiper decals to kinda be nice about it.
