or I should say princess.........

I "retired" her from daily use about 10 days ago. She's accumulated 4 miles since then......that was to take her and get her washed. :roflsquared:

She's mad.........and got REALLY pissed when I took her eyes out! (sold 'em!)

But......she's my toy, and I love her! Can't wait to get some time to do up the next set of lights for her!

the new "daily" is there in front of her. Wife's '12 Town & Country...works better for my back and forth runs to the warehouse for shipping. Many many days I couldn't fit all of what I needed in the truck......or it wouldn't fit under the tonneau and I had other places to go. Not leaving thousands of dollars of lights out in the open!

Yup! Love that she's still here, and the smile I had when I took her for a "Sunday drive" the other day. LOL

Wow...kinda speechless...

Uuuuhhhhhh.....enjoy the minivan?????

It ... works. And frankly.....the business bought the van, so - I'll drive that! LOL

I thought long and hard about it.....and in the end, I was REALLY getting tired of lifting 25 pound awkward boxes in and out of it daily. Tomorrow I have 7 large boxes heading out.....and they won't fit in the truck without the tonneau rolled up. And.....I think its going to rain. So...that just means that I have to shove crap inside...its a pain. With the van, just open the back gate and its done. ;)

Uh oh. Do I see a trade coming l?

HELL NO

She has a whopping 28,600 miles on her (to the dot). She's my toy....with a lifetime warranty on her......she's not going anywhere any time soon.

Hey, to each his own. There is no denying that the modern minivan is a very comfortable ride...that being said, my wife has made it perfectly clear that there is 0.00000% chance of us ever having one in our family. This is perfectly okay with me...lol.

I used to say that........

Whats funny, when it was time to go find the next vehicle for the wife, we started out looking at smaller SUVs....then it turned to the larger ones (Exploder, Pathfinder, Durango, Pilot, Highlander, Traverse, etc).........I couldn't get over the lack of room in each (except the Traverse, that things big) - and they where all about 6-7 grand more than a fully loaded minivan. Hell.....our van had 1 option......fixed second row seats. It came standard with everything else we wanted (dvd, nav, adjustable pedals, hids...lol.....like I can't fix that......haha)

We used to own SUVs.....just didn't "work" for us with the kiddos. This is our 4th Chrysler minivan now (07, 10, 12, 15). Gotta say......I do love my truck - but driving the van sure doesn't bother me.

My wife was totally anti minivan! She had a Subaru Forrester XT with the turbo and swore she would never go minivan. But when it came time to trade she couldn't get over how much room was available in the vans compared to the SUV's. She could fit both kids, the three dogs, and a full load of groceries no problem. Now she loves her Sienna.

Enjoy the new ride. Nothing better than new car smell.... Well almost nothing.

They are neat, we love 'em!

Funny, this one has a new NAV system....different than the '12. It shows all sorts of neat ****.....like fastest speed ..... when we got the van....... it showed 110mph. Really? Thing had 13 miles on it. Who joyrides ....... better yet.........who get a minivan to 110?!?!

I was going to ask how much room you had to the top of the garage before I mentioned a lift

You said it not us...

A diaper wagon? it may be mopar, but its not a MOPAR!

On the positive side, you will save on gas though.

At least Chrysler finally figured out the minivan transmission problems.

Can you bake open the lights on the van? If so I foresee a new product line: painted and HID equipped units for minivans ;-}
