Hmmm, A minivan can cost just as much a full size van, but a minivan can go just about anywhere. Stealth factor is high... Take a look a toyota sienna. Lot's of room in them and they get 28 MPG. I find it funny, that people will say... How can you live in a minivan, yet....... there are many...

I've always wondered. When you get a big bag of crap stored up, where do you find a "dumpster" to dump it into? Are they all over? Are they free? What does it usually cost to dump a few bags in a dumpster? Do they have dumpsters all over the place or maps that show where they are? Thanks!
