Looks like I will be looking for a replacement vehicle for out 2000 Astro Van. I am bummed because that van has been great. It got close to 20mph on the e-way, it sat 8 comfortably, we could take out the back seat and get 8 BMX bikes in it, and it was AWD and went thru almost anything. So we are looking for a used vehicle. Man the prices are crazy but we will find something wether it is another van, SUV or truck we will find it.

Waiting for Tony to finish his Florida home so we can stay with him and get out of this cold crap....but he seems to be taking his time, but I'm sure my room will be perfect.

Well it looks like we will be cleaning up some BMX bikes this winter. David and Jacob just picked up some bikes to help a friend sell. Good thing that the car is in storage or I would be sitting on a bike to watch TV in the living room. lol

Bill, not sure if you've seen this article or not...
