Nissan Quest Minivan: The Stripper-Friendly Family Car

If your husband suddenly wants a family-friendly minivan instead of that sports car, it's probably not because he's ready to settle down and start making babies.

It's because the 2011 Nissan Quest soccer mom minivan now comes with a GPS category that enables you to sniff out the nearest adult entertainment venue with just the simple touch of a button.

(I'm talking about strip clubs, people.)

Yes, the brand that prides itself on "family innovation" has put a strip club category in its GPS navigation system.

"Adult Entertainment" is at the top of the categories, followed by Amusement Places, Bowling, Bars & Clubs, Casinos ... wow, forget the limo for the bachelor party, just rent a minivan.

Call me crazy, but I really just don't find it necessary to include this in a GPS system. I mean, really, how often do you go to strip clubs that you would need this feature included in a navigation system? I would seriously hate to explain to a young child why those places are for adults and, no, we can't go there after the grocery store.

Are they trying to make the minivan cool? Trying to reach out to a new demographic (obviously men)? I have no doubt that the boys would love this feature, just judging by reading the comments on other articles, but I doubt, even with the ability to track down every strip club within a 200-mile radius, it's going to entice a single male 20-something to buy this thing. They could put a stripper pole in the middle of the darn thing -- it's still, at the end of the day, a minivan.

And this mobile porn can be yours at the low price of $27,750.

"Innovation for Family," indeed. Yeah, thanks to this feature it'll be a broken family.

I checked my company supplied GPS a couple of months ago, and if I use the find feature with "spelling" it finds strip clubs. Not a lot of help, since I know them all already.

At least the writer of the article wasn't passing any judgements! I didn't know that having an option to find "Adult Entertainment" would lead us to broken families. Once again, SC's are made out to be evil.

I think there would be at least a half a dozen strip clubs I would have never found if it was not for my GPS. The only strip club I could not find using my GPS was Deja Vu Cincinnati

Well fuck. I had to go down to the garage and check my Garmin GPS. It did not find any. Maybe there is a distance requirement. Closest club is over 30 miles from my house.

I also noticed that the "My location" on TUSCL does not show any clubs. Even when I panned out to about 50 miles.

Can you believe that with all the road trips vincemichaels does, he does not have a GPS?

I know that Tom-Tom has user supplied downloadable content for their products, and one of the available one's a couple of years ago was a list of SC locations. Don't know extensive it was, as I've found TUSCL's address listings pretty accurate and most GPSs allow direct address input.

I guess that's a great option if you are out running errands and have a sudden urge to find an adult entertainment establishment. Personally I pretty much know where I'm going before I set out, and if not I get the address from my Blackberry then use my Garmin for navigation.

sc,

You are correct, Vince does not use a GPS. He does, however use a Multi-Accessible Page unit, sometimes referred to as a MAP.

sc,

I have a Garmin and used the "spell" feature, so you have to at least know the club name.

ss1- Wouldn't the same nav system in the minivan be available in the GTR and 370Z models? For unfamiliar clubs, I just call the club and ask for directions from prominent place (airport, major highway intersection, etc).

minnow, I don't know about the other models. That is a good idea to call and ask for directions from prominent place.

Clubber, yes that works. I was hoping that by spelling strip club, it would locate them for me.

minnow, yes I had an infiniti and it had an Adult subcategory under Leisure. It had no trouble finding clubs.

An unemployed man went to apply for a job with Microsoft as a janitor. The manager there arranges for him to take an aptitude test. After the test, the manager said, "You will be employed as a janitor at minimum wage, $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address, so that I can send you a form to complete and tell you where to report for work on your first day."

Taken back, the man protests that he has neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this the MS manager replies, "Well, then, that means that you virtually don't exist and can therefore hardly expect to be employed by Microsoft."

Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having only $10 in his wallet, he buys a 25 LB flat of tomatoes at the supermarket. In less than two hours, he sells all the tomatoes individually at 100% profit. Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with almost $100 before going to sleep that night. Thus it dawns on him that he could quite easily make a living selling tomatoes. Getting up early every day and going to bed late, he multiplies his profits quickly. After a short time he acquires a cart to transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again so that he can buy a pickup truck to support this expanding business. By the end of the second year, he is the owner of a fleet of pickup trucks and manages a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes.

Planning for the future of his wife and children, he decides to buy some life insurance. Consulting with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in order to send the final documents electronically.

When the man replies that he has no e-mail, the adviser is stunned. "What, you don't have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would be now, if you had been connected to the Internet from the very start!"

"Well," replied the tomato millionaire, "I would be a janitor at Microsoft!"
