My new ride.

Post by Munken »

Let me introduce "Snow White", a 2000 Chevrolet Astro RWD Passenger Van LS.
One owner, he had "Quaker state engine warranty program" and that means Oil change + filter every 10000Km, and oil + filter change in the trans every 30000Km, up to 210000Km, after that Mobil oil. And everything documented in the service book.

Nice! I didn't see any scratches or dents in that picture. I wish my van was that well maintained.

There are a few dents. One at the front fender just abowe the bumper. And I saw two on the side just as big as fingerprints. Not bad for a 11 year old van. :)

I like the white color of the van. I don't see too many white ones. It does look remarkably good for a 11 year old van. How's the interior on it? I wish I could find one that looked that clean.
