89 Aerostar

My FIL just gave us a pretty decent Aerostar, it only has about 112k on it, with the 3.0 and automatic, loaded, not bad overall.
Anyways, I was driving it yesterday, had the windows down, and some AC/DC blasting on the stereo, but when I pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot, I realized something:

I am now that guy driving a minivan with the music cranking that I used to laugh at.

Damn.

My wife get a 90 Aero when it was 2years old, I thought if was the most butt ugly thing that I had ever layed eyes on, now that we have had it for 16 years, it has been the most useful car/truck that we have erver had. And my wife has the big banging sound system that I can here her coming from the hiway a half mile away.
