[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mistakenly got one when I had my third child b/c I thought I needed it (all in carseats).  I had it for a year and got rid of it because I hated it so much.  It was convenient, I'll give you that, but I am vain enough that I felt like I had given up on life every time I approached that damn thing.  Traded it in for an SUV and never looked back.  No one NEEDS a minivan.  [/quote]

Wow, that is really sad. I can't imagine caring that much what other people think. I definitely can't imagine my car dictating my identity. Wow.[/quote]

Looks like that person cared more about what HE/SHE thought, not about what other people thought.  [b]I think lots of our choices dictate our identity, no?  The clothes we wear, the way we decorate our home, the names we choose for our children[/b], why is a car any different?  Why shouldn't someone choose a car that they like?  I'm missing something here.[/quote]
NP.
Of course external possessions don't determine my identity! My identity comes from within - how I treat others. If I can look in the mirror every morning and tell myself that I'm making a positive impact on the world around me. And so on and so forth. I like that my identity remains the same whether I'm driving a beat up clunker or a Mercedes, whether I'm dressed in Target or Ralph Lauren.

Why would I allow my possessions and material things to determine my identity? What a sad life! [/quote]
