a blank first post is exactly right.... hard to get excited about vans... unless you are rupert.

these anniversary packages that come out every five years do usually offer some good value though, so we'll see if this is any different. this years should have interesting leather interiors... might make for an inexpensive more premium feel.

man... makes me feel old though... i remember selling the 15th anniversary editions when i first started.
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

Might be in the market for a minivan in the spring.  Definitely will be looking at Chrysler/Dodge.  Of course, I'll be looking at every single offering out there.

Definitely one of Chrysler's better ideas.

What do you mean no excitement? Alcantara seat surfaces with nappa bolsters! On the Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition that is.

Have a Turbo automatic in the family, quite a rare bird as it had a factory power sunroof, woodgrain sides, and alloy wheels. It sits in the field to this day collecting mice.

I learned to drive in a 85 Caravan, have a soft spot for those vans.
