Mini-Vans Ain't All Bad - I Have Proof!

[smitty_p]

My mini-van passes one of my most important tests:

It fits 4 x 8 sheets of plywood flat in the vehicle!

Also fits some new "Ryobi One +" product?

So the project was prompted from this conversation you had with your wife yesterday?

That's a new drill and drill bit set. It's a Christmas present for my second son. He's out on his own, so I figure he probably needs tools!

Never had a mini van -- had a Fool Size conversion van though-- that thing could swallow half a Hardware store -- and you could watch TV while doing it!!! ---

not to mention the back seat laid flat --- into a mattress

I loved my mini-van. Miss it. Had about 250,000 miles on it when rust got the best of it. Drove it pretty much all across the USA, Canada, and Alaska.

Someone say Mini Vans?

 

[eSGEe]

Oh your on FIRE you are

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

HAHA I am probably smoldering due to 1.5 days of rain

I actually wish I had one of those for road trippin’. The mini-van does a good job of it, but it would be nice to have something a little more spacious for the family for those 12 - 14 hour stints.

Smitty, I grew up and wanted to drive so bad. Now that I have logged hundreds of thousands of miles, I wish whenever I go on long trips that I could have a chauffeur. Hate to say it, but I do some of my best sleeping on car rides.

Yeah, brother 67. On my one and only awesome trip to Alaska, Juneau and beyond, I learned of the rainfall up there.
Your ride needs to serve you like you said. Keepin it dry.

Well if it holds a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood you could sleep in it too if ya had to.

thats why I bought it-----owned it when I lived in the Fl Keys-- look it up-- if you live there - -it is a 12 hour drive to get OUT OF FLORIDA--- my original p0lan was for HURRICANE EVAC -- that thing could take a house full of crap-- multiple critters--- tow a trailer (with my motorcycles) and still cruise the turnpike at 80...........LOVED that thing but times change -- kids grow and leave ---- and come back with THEIR KIDS -- I need a damn grey hound now--

but the van worked WONDERS for several family trips as well as SEVERAL hurricane evacs....
