I love minivans - specifically the Windstar, as it's built on a Taurus chassis and drives more like a car. And, it's what we can afford right now. MM's schedule is changing so I need something to drive The Punk to daycare in and then myself to the train station. It'll only be driven from home to daycare to trainstation and then home. Round trip about 15 miles per day.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We have a Windstar, my wife really likes it. The deciding factors were the super low prices of used ones and the superb safety ratings. Don't get a 96 or 95 though as they have serious head gasket problems.

AARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Still no word.
I mean, really. If you're in jury duty all day and have no way to communicate, is it fair to hold up business? Why can't this woman delegate the negotiating to another agent!?!? I hate her so much.

THe one I'm looking at is a 2001. The dealership is asking 14,000 but I now they didn't pay more than $5000 for in on trade so we're going to offer $8000.

There's also a 1998 Explorer within our price range as well.
Hmmm...

And the trifecta:
Insurance for the Explorer is more cause, SUV. And the Windstar is newer. Sigh. Guess I'm a *MOM*.

The baby is kind of a giveaway on that.

Heh. I'm not anybody's anything, but I have a 98 Windstar that I've been very happy with. (Lots of crap to tote for SCA, armour, etc.)

The Windstar will also have a whole lot more cargo space. Ours has the third seat out most of the time so we can go to home depot and get 25 bags of mulch and other garden crap while still having room for the kids.
Is the 2001 new enough to have LATCH anchors for car-seats? Ours has 'em, but it's a 2002.
