Stocking The Tool Box

[John Ross]

Hi Paul,
I have a Dodge Mini-van, the longer one. It is my 4th. minivan, and I love
it.
I have never had any transmission problems.
I have the one with the two side doors, it is very convenient.
I have the seats removed, (good for resale)and a cabinet with drawers and
shelves for spare parts, secured to the seat anchors.
I used to repair electronic organs, and had room to move  one of them when
required.
I have about 97,000 miles on it, and the only problem has been the
air-conditioning.
I would recommend it. I like the front wheel drive, and have had no problem
in the snow.
Regards,
John M. Ross

Thanks, Greg, for the reply.  Do you own the Astro van?  It's the only
one with rear wheel drive.  I don't know how it compares to the
Chrysler/Dodge or Aerostar/Windstar which are both front wheel drive
(with their flaky transmissions).
    I'd buy a pickup with a shell for economy, but it's not convenient
to lift tool boxes over the side of the bed.  I had a Taurus wagon,
which was great convenience wise, but very unreliable.  I like the
access of doors on the side.  Any Astro owners care to comment?
