Know you're sorry to see it go. Kind of like a family member leaving home for the first time.

You'll have another chance down the road.

You do know the best part of this is once you get money put away you can buy yourself a Astro or Safari. Your parents are wanting what is most logical vehicle for you. Mine did the same thing to me. I inherited a 1972 International Travel All when I was 15 and was very close to having it driveable and they forced me to sell it before I could drive it. I ended up with a 89 Bonneville. Since then I have been accused of changing vehicles more than I change my underware, but one thing remains, once you have had one of these vans you can't let go. I have had three now and I miss the first two dearly. I usually have a car for 6 months tops and sell it, I kept my 96 Astro for 3 years. Never thought I would love a van, but I can't live without it. I feel very deeply sorry for your loss and I too, understand. I really wish somebody could have givin it a home, damn shame a good van was loaded in the crusher.

*moment of silence please*


Ah darn! I really thought someone close by would have bought it! Personally I would have kick and screamed to kept it. I cant believe a contractor passed up on the buy as well - I mean one look inside for the cargo space and BOOM here's your money lol.
