No logos, no markings, no funeral home plates. Just a minivan. My uncle and I couldn't help but laugh through our tears at the absurdity of it as I said, "well, I hope they took the rear seats out first." There goes a minivan down the street at 2am, no big deal, just my mom's dead body in the back.

It's a great vehicle...but it's still  a minivan.

Going by the mic the reporter - who runs along with the cameraman - is carrying, it looks like WBBM-TV in Chicago (Channel 2).

Or you could start your own auto site, I guess. Write about whatever little cars you want. You can do it!

Also, all of those cars have been covered on Jalopnik before. But then again, it would probably be far too much to ask for you to not be a complete idiot.

Let's use the example of, say, the Chevy Lumina. It was a loathsome car in almost every way. Terrible to drive. Terrible to look at. Uncomfortable. Unexciting. Cheaply made. Just awful all around. But you know what? If I had to drive from Boston to Seattle and back in 1995, there's a much, much, much better chance that poor Lumina makes the trip successfully than, say, an Alfa 75 or Jaguar XJ40.*

*NOTE: this comment should not in any way be construed as a defense of most loathsome 1980s-90s American cars. Burn 'em all to the ground...but at least with an American car, you have to set the fire yourself first.

By first, you mean second, right? The 2013 Accord is already out.
