new member from Eagle michigan
Hi everyone. I have a 93 safari 2wd I bought 3 years ago it gets 23 mpg. Original engine with 223,000 on it and it runs good. Its a ex budwieser van. Its white with red and black stripes has factory 3" exhaust. I'm impressed with the get up and go. I had another astro from texas and sold it because the bud van would run rings around it. I have 255/60-15 tires in the rear and 215/70-15 up front on 8" wide pickup ralley wheels. I will post picks when I can, not good with cameras. It has some rust on it but being from mi. what doesnt.
