The new van
 
So yet another thing I've been busy with is the family getting a new vehicle. The 1999 Caravan we have now has 290K miles on it and keeps breaking things on it. My dad found this 1998 (exactly like our old one that got crushed by a semi my sophomore year, so that would be like 4 years ago) with 86K miles on it. Looks & smells like a new car so my dad wants to keep it that way which in code means, Brittany detail the van the next chance you get a chance. So inbetween school, work, homework, and other family stuff I've been trying to detail it. I only got to clay bar it bcuz it's too damn cold and I haven't gotten a chance to do the interior. My monte went over a week being half detail, literally! That's when you know I'm busy is when my poor monte goes half detailed for that long, and the interior is an absolutely mess! But anyway pics of the "new" van

haha I forgot I posted this thread. Thanks btw Greg. I think it would look a hell of a lot better if we put the spoiler that's on our 99 on this one...problem is the reds don't match so idk if it's worth it...this is what the spoiler on the other one looks like...I can't find a pic of ours so this pic will have to do (this is not what our 99 looks like btw lol this is another 98)

Caravans are good vans, I owned an 89 from down south that was spotless. It ran great for a 12 year old van. I also drove one just like yours for work for a few months.

Hi `Brittany,
Great Looking Van....I'd like to have it for a party/surf `Van : )
& it already has a rack on the `Top...

I'm sure that you will find time to detail your `Monte, because you are addicted : ) & won't rest until it's clean :eek::D

Wish you & family safe/fun miles in your new 2 U `Van...
p.s., I also like your Mother's Black Eclipse Convertible : )
Thanks for sharing/posting 4-Sure : )

Well, it looks pretty clean. '98 Caravans don't look like that around here. Your still looks new!

Personally, I would never get a Caravan, but you have more experience with them than I. But they are know as having the worst transmissions. The worst. Just out of curiousity, how many transmissions were replaced/ rebuilt in the '99?
