Rented a PHEV Chrysler Pacifica while family is in town. Just charging using a Level 1 120V but it's pretty cool to reduce gas consumption and the low-end torque is acceptable for a car of this size. Even though charging takes forever, it easily covers trips around town. I wish there was more...

Seems like the perfect use case for a PHEV?

Is there such a thing as automatic opening/closing windows, too?

Not sure which was lower effort, Maji Curry or (the now defunct) C Fruitlife across the street

how long does the free wash last? do you have to bring a coupon or something?

I've got this place bookmarked as a go-to when the in-laws come in from Asia. It is way too fancy for us otherwise.

I didn't know Big 5 and Pho So closed.

In my experience, minivans have a more efficient use of a similar body shape in terms of usable space for passengers and/or cargo. Same for creature comforts and ingress/egress. It's a different type of versatility than being able to occasionally go off road a little or tow.
