As summer is almost here, I will be home from college for a little while. This means I have to drive the minivan that my parents gave my brother and I after our mom got a new one. I'm getting tired of this thing. Anyone have any ideas on how to make a Mercury Villigar look evil, or at least much less feminie?

Better stereo system. A minivan has a lot of room.
Paint job.

Cover it in astroturf.
Nah, seriously, who cares? If it runs, get over it. Who are you trying to impress?

Minivans have space. Space for friends, space for gear, space for leaning back and relaxing.
Screw impressing people. I drove a Chevette and I got plenty of dates and fun summer nights (although, I kept it clean. Clean is good. Clean is impressive).

I second this
All I care about is how to get from A to B, with good gas mileage

You could add fiberglass nacelles to the side for a ST shuttlecraft....
Seriously tho, get out the thumpers and rock it.

Spraypaint it flat black, then do a sharkmouth?

I actually wish I had a normal sedan. I'd get better gas milage anyway.

It's not the car, it's the man. A tough-looking guy in a minivan is far more intimidating than a pencil-necked geek in a rip-roaring sports car.

How about a >300lb. giant brute with a heavy beard in a '91 Ford T-bird?

In the words of myself..
'If a man who can benchpress his girlfriend wants to wear a pink, fuzzy bathrobe, it's probably unwise to mess with him'.

Just take out the rear seats, drop in a twin mattress and some sheets and dub it your 'pimp-mobile'.
If anyone gives you a hard time about it, show em the inside and they'll understand.
A killer sound system wouldn't hurt either.

... unless your a pencil-necked geek in a purple with pink striped minivan...
But I can relate with that image. During my summer job, I usually had to drive my bosses company Astro van around town to pick up parts. But believe you me no one made snide remarks or gave me that snooty look when they have to look up at me from their car to see a tanned, grease/oil covered guy with defined forearms while still having a buisness like part hairdo.
Moral of this story: get a tan, cover yourself in grease, and part your hair.

Mount a belt-fed machine gun on the roof and drive around wearing army fatigues.

There is only one possible answer to this: yes.

Or he could dress as a clown and play off-tone ice cream music from a loudspeaker bolted on top.
