We had a Dodge Caravan once. I can honestly say from years of experience that there's something wrong with vans...they break and tear-up constantly, and it's almost always the transmission.

Personally, I'd rather be driving a Porsche, BMW, or an Aston Martin...

This one was my dad's...

...OTOH, it's better than the cruddy, rusty, and ugly Ford Taurus/Mercury Sable I had 8^)

Hmmm, my friend's mother had a Dodge Intrepid with the 3.3 litre engine and her transmisison was forever giving her trouble until it conked out entirely. At first until it warmed up, it would stay in first gear and sometimes reverse didn't work.

I'm more of a Nissan and Toyota fan myself. I hate all minivans. Like you, I've never seen one that either wasn't scrapped out or well on its way.

That is because you did not pay homage to the Van Dieties. You need to have an airbrushed mural on the exterior, shag carpet on the interior, and an eight-track tape deck in order to keep THEM happy.
