The kids call it "the toaster" after hearing me say it looked like a toaster my parents got for a wedding gift in 1959...

Bite your tongue Neil! Mini van is a four letter word in our house. Although this thing is probably as close to a mini van as you can get. The state classifies it as a "sport wagon"...

We actually test drove a Honda minivan before getting the toaster... After the test drive, my wife and I got in an argument in front of the salesman over who was going to drive the van if we got it... neither one of us wanted to be the primary driver... lol... too bad the kids can't drive yet, they loved it!

 

A HONDA???? Oh, you are soooooo close to being banned! A Honda...and a mini van to boot.....Your man card is also in jeopardy here, pal......



So, she doesn't like it being called a minivan, eh?? More ammo......

 

Good Afternoon Nebraska.

 

Hey Chris, how goes it?

 

yeah really pat.

 

Rob what actually looks like a Toaster is the Scion XB. A buddy of mine has one and he nicknamed it "toaster" and he even got personalized plates for it that state "TOASTER"

 

Not to bad Pat. You working hard?

 

Working hard.......You're killing me man...



Working hard.....can you believe this guy...


Nope, not doing a thing. It's really quiet this week. I'll be busy next week, though.

 

Having a hard time finding the cooper discoverers in a 33x11.50x15. I found them readily available in a 31x10.50 though, and I think this is the size I am wanting anyways. This is the same size I run on the 89 and I think it looks just about perfect for a stock suspension truck. And it doesn't throw the speed-o off too bad either.

 

Tell me about it Pat, I wore a disguise during the test drive... didn't want the FTE spies catching me.

Too funny Neil. My kids were begging me to see if "TOASTER" was available here. Someone in our neighborhood has an orange colored HHR with "CARROT" on the license plate.

 

OK,OK. I was giving you an opportunity to lie and make some of the non regulars think you were a hard working guy.

 

I'll be curious on what the wife decides on to replace the Expedition. She has waffled between the new Edge, or getting a used Explorer, something no more than a year or so old.

 

Too late Chris, these guys all know me too well. That "#1 Slackmaster" in my title really doesn't help either!!LOL!

 

As long as it has that magical blue oval on the front, you can't go wrong!

 

Amen to that, brother! Not one of them goofy-looking bow tie things.
