Yeah I know what you're thinking. Why the hell would we ask for money. I know we're all broke because we drive Foci but here's the deal.
Pitch Black and I are going in on a club vehicle. We're going to use it to haul fun stuff like engines around and more importantly, use it as a moving tripod for a video camera. We're looking into Dodge Caravans right now. So anyways, if you're interested in a club project. Post it up.

Well, if you want a mini van, I think theres one up on the want ads at work for nil...Those can be solid runners with good maitince.
If your interested in a turbo caravan, let me know, I think the guy I almost bought it off of still has it, it uses some oil though...
I like the flat-black chop with the decal on it, however, it is going to make you stick out like a sore thumb when a concerned citizen calls the cops on you for speeding or whatever your recording, I am going to assume your not using the tri-pod/camera in the van to record ghey pr0n on a country back road.
So...how much is the van?
BTW, the photo chop job looks good, *but*, your back wheel is turned to match the front

Put a fart can on it
Make it faster then a souped up neon and join that neon crew that one kid is wanting us to join.
Now that I look at the van, the front wheel is not even turned, how the hell is the front and back wheel turned, and, shiny, cmpared to the flat black motive on the photo chopped van?

And, by those pics, your suggesting that its a 4 lug? Them mocars are 5 lug

Hmm... for some reason I really want to drive that thing around. Only if it has a whistle tip.

Oh please no, anything but a Chrysler product.
Although from what I've heard all Chryslers have quick release transmissions so they are easy to swap when they fail every 10,000 miles.
They are also great at keeping the mosquito population down, just a touch of citronella in the crankcase and you have an instant fogger.
Is there something wrong with the water out there in Hopkins Justin?
Next you'll tell us you're trading the ZX3 for a used Neon with half the paint peeled off , a giant wing made out of sheet aluminum, stolen street signs and four rolls of duct tape and Yes, a set of Wal-mart spinners.

If you can find us a ford van for this price, let me know but we looked, caravans are the cheapest.

My minor rant there was offered only as sarcastic humour, I understand that Chrysler minivans are cheap and most Ford minivans of that age are in danger of disintigration due to rust.
I have not priced them but the old Aerostars were very tough vehicles, they did have a bit of a problem with the old tinworm though.
I just have a personal predjudice against Chrysler products due to having worked at a dealership that carried both Ford and Chrysler products. NOT PLEASANT.
How much is that thing? I didn't see a price.
BTW- Justin, check your PM's.

$450 big ones. Enough where we're not really losing out if it turns into a pile of crap. I wanted to pick up an AWD Aerostar but those are hard to find in decent shape. for the price range we're looking for.
