A small vow
Inspired by this, from the Sunday Times:

For the balding, middle-aged urologist out to impress the baby sitter, there has always been the sports car. But over the last 20 years, the family car, at least the models aimed at the mainstream buyer, has become profoundly dull, a mobile cup holder for the focus group soccer mom of the suburban minivan collective, an aerodynamic lozenge tricked up with a DVD slot for SpongeBob SquarePants, a built-in diaper bag and an onboard atomic formula warmer.
I'd just like to renew my promise to myself despite the rapid approach of parenthood that I will never own a minivan, nor an SUV. So there. Harrumph.
