sad sight tonight....

i was comming back from delivering a pizza, and pull up behind a...91-92 shorty w 06 tags, and sounded like the cats had been stolen or the flexpipe was literaly non-existant.... and it looked like the owner was living out of it (it was FULL of stuff). i felt bad for the van.... and the owner too...

oh yeah: if you see this van (below), it's me!!!

dcrb,
yes sad to see especially the families living in cars or out in the road camps.

seeing far more of it here across the river starting last year.

they don't panhandle me much in the Aero, guess they feel sorry for me having to drive something like that

we give to the local charities, far more chance of it making it to the kids first

big increase in middle age/older guys out on road side with work/job signs, not asking for cash. can tell they're not panhandlers. usually in the wrong spots for cash handouts

nice lookin Aero
who buys the gas for pizza delivery?

don't ever eat an anchovies and garlic pizza in an Aerostar.
pieces fall down and disappear between bucket seats and into that black hole at the parking brake.
rot and stink in summer or when heater is on
smells like a fish cannery gone bad.

thanks!! i made some improvements today, i found a set of almost brandnew headlight lenses @ upull it today, and WOW do they make a difference!!! also i replaced that cracked left turn signal lense.

I pay for my gas, i have two jobs. i work part time @ papa johns and part time @ uhaul. last night (on sunday) i didn't even use a 1/4 of a tank of gas, and i was constantly in and out of the store (i took 11 deleveries in 6 hours).

rice burners w fart cans are over rated. lol

OH yeah i bought a can of liquid silicone grease (spray type) for $3.59 @ shucks. MAN does that stuff make a difference! my windows went from not going down, to perfect!!!

ONE can greased up both passenger and drivers window tracks on 3 aerostars, with stuff left over. NOW that's a good repair!

Pablo-UA, The Oka cars look nice. I'm reading web link you gave above. Surprised to see some may be sold in USA because our laws are strict for strong bumpers and door beams, air bags etc.

The car reminds me of my 1972 Honda 600 sedan, except it was air cooled. And I'm tall man, but I would fit in the Honda even with cowboy hat on. It got 50 miles per gallon. 10 inch tires. Carried 4 people. I like a good inexpensive small car.
