Hey Peter,
Yes the Honda Element is a very useful vehicle for “stuff”, with lots of different ways to use it. One of the guys from Ride The Lobster had one. I always called it the “Uglament” until I got inside one. Those cars may not be pretty, but they sure are functional.
Toyota FJ Cruiser? Very nice looking but tiny inside. Mazda 5 is also cute, but it’s more like a compact station wagon than a minivan. I rented one once, and it was very handy for its size, but the size is limited. Some people say I should get a Prius V (probably the most practical Prius), but it’s still fairly small inside. Just have to decide how much room we really need for our present and future.
BTW, in the process of moving to our new house, I just had about 25 unicycles in my Sienna. Here’s a picture taken after I started unloading them.
