On the next episode of "Pimp My Minivan"...It's official, we are the proud owners of yet another all-white minivan virtually identical to the now defunct Busy Van II. I am still in need of a major attitude adjustment, but (don't tell anyone) it was a fantastic deal on what seems to be a good car. It's just that it's so, so...white. We are giving serious thought to putting some kind of trim or paint on it, but, we have thus far ruled out neon running lights and spinning rims.
We won't actually be able to get it for a few days since the insurance money hasn't arrived yet. It will, most likely, still be all white when we pick it up, so I'll just have to make the best of it. I will love it and hug it and squeeze it and call it, "Vanna White".

White is easy to keep clean at least! I have had light colored cars for the past three and I much prefer them. (2 gold ones and one pewter)
No spinners?? Awww...
Vanna White! Tee hee.
You could always take to wearing a pair of rose-tinted glasses, then it wouldn't appear white anymore - just a lovely shade of pink...
Don't forget to get the gold crown air-freshener and put it on the dash. I love minivans. They rock!
Hon, you are just not taking the right perspective. It's not a white van - it's a canvas.
You know what REALLY spiffs up the all-white mini-van?
Anthing from the Coach outlet. Trust me.
Maybe if you never wash the van it will turn into the "Tan Van"
Susan and Dennis have the perfect solutions!
How about a license plate frame that reads "Sports car attitude in a minivan life!". Wait, that doesn't take care of the whiteness of it, does it?
LOVE in a big way your new ride's name!
Put on some 20in rim and tint the windows.
I think you need to lower it until it sits about 2 inches off the pavement and hook your speakers to the oustide so EVERYONE will know when you are coming (and going)!
Vanna White? You're about the punniest mom I know! And don't fret; some day, when the kids are gone, you can get the little red Mustang convertible I'm sure you crave in your heart.
Quick, contact MTV, and plead your case...maybe they will 'Pimp Your Ride'.
LMAO at the title of this Post!
Vanna White!!! you are completely and totally out of control, girl!!!
Right after we got our "great deal on an all white minivan" I realized one thing. It is probably the car of choice for terrorists because there are only ten freakin million of them. The police would be stumped right away...breaker breaker Alerting all units. We have reports that the suspects are driving an all white minivan. possibly has a soccerball sticker on the back window. Ten million people like you and I would have to be stopped before they found the bad guys..Walk out of the mall and, well, let's see is it that one or that one or that one over there or...
Well Ms. Sajack you could go to the autobody paint store and get some pinstripe stickers in fancy colors and let Busy Girl and Busy Boy (and maybe even the Preschooler formerly known as Busy Baby) go to town with Vanna.....they're removable. You could change the "look" all the time...imagine the possibilities.
Vanna White..thanks,I just spewed my tea on the computer screen.lol
Just think of it as a blank canvas. You could go with vinyl detailing (like you get on the sides of boats etc.) so that you could have cool flames running down the sides, or whatever you can dream up (little bubbles with the names of your kids inside, a big heart with your sweetie's name on it, etc.)
Best of luck with your "new wheels"
White is supposed to be a very safe color.
Can I buy a vowel?
lol.
I love the name! Vanna White just sounds so appropriate.
My silver minivan seems to be getting "unpimped." Someone, for reasons I cannot begin to understand, ripped the "H" off of the back of it. (HOW is that even possible?) Is Honda the new Mercedes? Now I'm looking really white trash. I want my H back!
Slap some Titans or Predators magnets on it!!! In fact you could make the sides look like the ice at the GEC complete with Predator logo and blue and red pinstripes where the zone lines are!!! You could be the 'Hockey Tonk Mama'!!!
Connecting thread: Pat Sajak lives just a few blocks from me!!
In April we purchased not 1 but 2 new auto's for the fam. Unbelievable adventure. Good luck with the Vanna mobile.
Love the name you've chosen!
ROFL at the name. Our son hates white cars, too--and guess what his mean parents bought him. It DOES have a cool thin blue stripe, though. And now it has the lovely not-thin red mark on the back bumper where some Nashville (!) driver got a little too cozy in a parking lot then left a fake phone number.
I've got it. Get out the finger paints and let the Preschooler formerly known as Busy Baby have fun. You could change the look of the van everytime it sprinkles!
I HATE my white mini van - in a catalog my 9 year old saw magnetic flames to put on the hood and sides of any car.
If they hadn't been $50 - I would snatched them up! That would have caused some talk in car line!
