Default Finally Got Something with a 3.8!

Hey guys, you guys are gonna be super proud of me, I finally got something with a 3.8l in it!

Let me know what you think!




Oh yes she's gorgeous haha

It's got lots of rust and 141k miles but is currently getting almost 26 mpg highway, so I'll take it for now as a winter/school beater.

We bought it since it was brand new but now it's going to be mine for school

I'm probably going to work on taming the rust for now, but that's about it, I may put some HIDs in it just because I drive it a lot at night and it's a little hard to see out of compared to the Monte.

Let me know what you guys think and if you think I should do anything else to it... I may put subs in it also just for fun haha

Nice. I drove minivans for about 8 or 9 years. You can haul anything in a mini van. Does it have roof rails.lol Some interior lighting around the perimeter of the ceiling would be cool. There are a few turbo caravans on YouTube but they are older ones with a 3.1 Mitsubishi motor.

I love it I put all my new car parts in it and yes it does have the roof rails haha I won't do anything other than maybe an intake to let the engine breath a little better and get better mpg, but I doubt I'll even do that.
