Evening guys.

Tom my wife gave up her car years ago for the 03 Odyssey and now we just got her a new used 2011.
The old one had 155k on it and was in need of a 2nd tranny that I was not going to put in it.
She loves her van and I don't mind it ether.
We just need to do what we need to for our kids.

Getting old isn't optional, but assuming responsibility is.

Yeah, I ended up with a Fusion myself. Though mine is a hybrid. I don't hate the mileage, but I miss driving a truck every day. On the trail of a new transfer case for my truck. Hope it pans out, because the weather is starting to get warmer, and the truck hauls fishing poles and kayaks a lot better. Not to mention I am hoping to get a turkey this spring, and it would be nice to not put it in the trunk of the Fusion, haha!

Not a problem Pete, if you ever change your mind this is just sitting in my basement taking up space.

Yay, shooting on my road last night. Kendra was met by men in blue with AR15s and German Shepards telling her she couldn't get up the road.

I was reading that dodge is putting an Italian diesel in its 1500 this fall. Would like to see Ford follow suite with an american built diesel.
