 I have owned many cars in the past & not one has ever made me this happy as an owner.  I am also an amateur mechanic.  My story is classic, because I am a smart-a$$ & it was fun. Last summer I was driving behind a cherry red mustang with the top down.  Sweet.  Anyhow, the driver was kind of a jerk, ignoring the admirers on the sidewalk calling to him, "What year?"  Fed up with this man's "Holier than Thou" attitude, I patted the side of my gray minivan, smiled wide & said, "2001!  Ain't she a beuat?  Awesome mileage & drives like a dream!"  The side of the street guys were in stitches as I waved and pulled away slowly and proud. I LOVE THIS VAN! My next one will just be a newer version!
