[CreekDog]

:spank:

[mikeytherat]

1. The Family Truckster rules!

mikey_the_rat

[madinmaryland]

2. Faux wood veneer paneling!!1!!

:woohoo:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. I told you, dude. It has Sirius Satellite Radio. Series. It does.

:rofl:

And, I traded in my old van, which was red for this one, which is blue after Webb won the Senate race.

I know. I'm a dork.

[CreekDog]

24. the Family Truckster has AM Radio

oh yeah. :applause:

[arcadian]

4. T & C make great surfboards too

5. You just reminded me of my father.

He used to drive a Grand Voyager, back when Plymouth was still around. This was not an easy car for him to buy, as the price was steeper than say a 4 door sedan, but he had kids in puberty to cart around. Eventually he grew fond of it, especially for going golfing with friends. After a few years he finally started talking about a town and country. This time his kids drove already and didn't need to be chauffeured. Somehow the idea of a Grand Voyager with leather seats fascinated him but nobody else in the family was game. He didn't get the TandC

[Midlodemocrat]

6. I did.

:hide:

I got every available option there was. I'm a bad liberal.

[JVS]

7. how much was it?

[Midlodemocrat]

9. .

$39,000 and change. And worth every penny. Mr's car is a company car, so we only have to buy one car when we do get a car, so technically it is $18,500 for each car.

How's that for spin? :rofl:

[JVS]

12. See, that's where you lose me. For that kind of dough I would urge my father to get a base...

level Voyager for around $22 K, and then a slightly used Mustang or Miata. Hell, he could get a PT cruiser and get a brand new Mustang or Miata

[flvegan]

13. That could be a whole 'nother thread.

"What form or forms of transport would YOU have spent Midlo's van moolah on?"

You have $39k and kids to transport. Go!

[JVS]

15. 4 Hyundai Accents!

[CreekDog]

22. 39k...i think she bought it at CVS

holy

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Oh, I know what you mean.

It was a total extravagence. I still need one to chauffeur the kids and friends around and I figured I'd go out with a bang for my last one.

I'll still be driving it 10 years down the road. God willing.

[JVS]

16. I feel ya. And I know you'd be damned if you were gonna skimp on the minivan so those little...

fuckers would be scheming on your sweet Stang action just because you needed to take the van to get some Franzia at the costco.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. It's like you read my mind.

:rofl:

[JVS]

18. I was channeling Christopher Walken's character from Pulp Fiction.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. See, that would be funny if I'd ever seen the movie.

:cry:

[JVS]

20. here is the only scene with that character

[CreekDog]

21. 39k?

did you buy 2? :wow:

[JVS]

23. Man, with that much money, I could make a payment on a house split into 4 apartment units...

and start generating real money. Living the dream of being an asshole landlord.

[CreekDog]

8. did you get the thingy that

puts air freshener in the tires?

[Midlodemocrat]

10. LOL.

No, that one I skipped. :rofl:

[flvegan]

11. As I recall, they flew fairly well but landed poorly.

[carlyhippy]
