Dear Josh,That I was a weirdo or that I was a Mennonite? 🤪😜
Did you think I was more or less weird after talking to me? Lol
I would buy another van, no doubt.. And by the shape the fishing buggy is in, that might be sooner rather than later.
But this thing EXUDES COOL!!😎View attachment 1641234653
Dear Swattie,But you’ll probably want to.
I watch Fast Lane Car on YouTube. Took them getting like 3 or 4 of them from Land Rover til they got one that ran long enough to get it out of the office park where they’re based to test it.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re cool, but they’re a disaster reliability wise.
Edit: If the above post was a joke, it went over my head. Sorry in advance if so.
I called mine the "war wagon". I went from Jeep to minivan to import suv...I will be looking again soon. With no kids I will be looking mis-sized suv again, most likely, but if you don't need the 4wd the van and an airmatress is hard to beat. FYI, my 7k lb Grand Caravan might be the best vehicle I've ever driven in the snow.I have a green 2009 Chrysler Town & Country. I lovingly call it my "fishing buggy." I'd buy another mini van in a heartbeat for traveling and staying out of. You just need to be cautious of terrain, ground clearance, etc.
Edit: some people think it's weird when a single guy without kids has a minivan.... Oh well.
Oh, and since I live near a high Mennonite population, there is a secret Mennonite wave kind of like the biker guys have. I'm always getting "the wave" from other dark colored vehicles driving by.
when I met you, it was more of a head scratcher. I figured you got a good deal or took it over from a grandparent who shouldn't drive anymore. The negatives of gas mileage, two wheel drive and bad ground clearance are more significant than the style. A plus is pulling the seats and having an instant camper. I'm keeping an eye out for a replacement. Cost of vehicles these days chills motivation. Mazda is redesigning the cx5 and I read they will make a hybrid version using Toyota hybrid technology. It might not be out for another year and I like to get the second year of a new model.That I was a weirdo or that I was a Mennonite? 🤪😜

While it is cool, it is only semi cool. Not nearly as cool as the Honda element I drove for over 300k. I was often mistaken for a female physical education teacher 🤣. It was ugly but it worked great for fishing and could comfortably sleep in it. The road noise was horrific though
