You know, we all joke about minivans, but when you have a family and are traveling they are the only way to go. Today's are just amazingly comfortable with a ton of built-in features, hold a ton of stuff, and get amazing gas mileage for their size and weight. We literally just "sold" our 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Limited two weeks ago for $1 to one of the guys who recently painted our house exterior. He is a very hard-working naturalized citizen from Guatemala who emigrated legally, works painting part-time as part of the crew who did our house and has his own formal handyman business as well. He has been in the US for 15 years and was looking for a vehicle for his wife, who currently walks to work--not cool here in San Antonio. We had been thinking about donating the van to a charity and this situation popped up. Great timing. He has since been texting me about what he's done to get different things fixed, the registration and titling is all complete, etc. I'm glad we could help him.

We'd kept the old van around for years after our kids were out of college and on their own, using it as a hauler for mulch, multiple moves of our youngest daughter after college, errand-running around town to keep mileage down on our other vehicles, etc. It had 145K miles on it, but that's not bad for the age and the interior and body were in great shape. Needed a couple of things done to bring it fully up to speed (like rear a/c fix), but otherwise it was great. Lots of great memories of travels all over as a family.
My wife and I still own (and love) our 23-year old Honda minivan. Over the years, it has taken us on dozens of camping trips, made countless Home Depot runs, moved two kids in/out of college and grad school, and helped both kids move into their first and second apartments. No joke... We might buy another minivan if we ever decide to retire this one.

I'm actually going to write on there, "I HATE MONDAYS!" in big bold red letters!

It's definitely Garfield related, and definitely doesn't mean anything else!

While I would never own one seeing as our son is almost 20 it for SURE was the way to go on this trip. My JLR and my Wifes Juke would have been miserable with the 3 of us and 2 Beagles in it so we rented this and I have no regrets. Thing was super comfortable, got decent gas mileage and gave us 0 issues. And the best thing it did was make me appreciate the Jeep that much more when I got home lol

I can't share a photo of my Jeep from today, because it's raining, so the Jeep stays in the garage.

Also, y'all are gonna scuff your tires driving over curbs like that. WTH are you thinking?
