  All of my cars have been two doors. The first two were only two seaters as well (no back seat). Currently I'm driving a 94 Mustang GT with a few minor mods, so I can appreciate one of your shopping options.

  However, my wife drives a mini-van. I had to do it. As much as it pained me I just had to. When you have a young child in a booster seat and two babies in car seats you have to have a roomy vehicle that is easy to climb in and out of. Hey, at least if I ever decide to go to a KH, I'll fit right in. Yeah right!

  Two doors have a much better resale value. Maybe you can appeal to their dollar sense with that!

  When you say two door do you mean two seater? In the UK there are cars with five seats (two front and three back) that come with two doors. They are awkward and I never liked them but they exist.

  I know some JWs that now believe that having a mini-van is even better than a 4-door car, in terms of having larger groups for Field Service™.

  What they seem to forget is that most JWs are too cheap to help with the extra gas money that is required to haul an extra 4 or 5 a$$es out in Field Service™ and are only too happy to freeload on the backs of the people who own a mini-van. They keep their nice new cars clean, keep the mileage reasonable, save on fuel and insurance [how much extra mileage piles on in a years' worth of Field Service™?] and wear and tear on the vehicle, and take advantage of the generosity of a few kind souls who think they are doing God's Work™.

  I remember some of the women gossiping about how so and so got a two door car *gasp* and how it wasn't pratical for service, they also complained about jeeps because you had to "climb" to get in them.

  I hated how the women always had to sit in the back, god forbid a man and woman sit upfront, I think it would be funny if a woman would run out to the car for service with a man and yell "SHOTGUN" and then when they try to make them sit in the back they should say " but I called shotgun?"

  Ah yes but Scully, there's another perk----far greater------to going out in Service in a mini-van.......If you sit at the very back, your chances of having to get out and take a door are cut in half! Especially if you're working country territory! Yes, with the conversation flowing as you drive sloooowly down the country roads, everyone loses track of who took the last door! I remember one pioneer got 2 hours in one morning while we were in a mini-van, and the lazy beotch only took one door! And that's only after I said "It's your turn" (giggle).

  Yet another example of unwritten JW rules. Buy a JEEP dude! They're great for working rural territories!

  If you buy a two door car, clearly your Scriptural Priorities TM are not in the right place.

  People who drive two door cars are clearly of the Spiritually Weak persuasion.

  That is the way it was for my entire JW life.

  I do remember Tony Steiner (Eastwood Cong) had a yellow two door vette, and while the ladies creamed over it, the men developed a significant case of penis envy, LOL. I always like Tony, good guy.
