Well I'll be...
It looks quite similar, especially the highway and parking lot at the bottom.

When all it takes is a glance from the corner of your eye, and you realize...
It is Perfect.

At the age of 6 years old you hug the front end of your parent's 86 astro and say "I'm gonna own you some day" then 16 years later you own that van
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming... WOW... What a Ride!"
"There's no 'Replacement' for 'Displacement'."

Re: You know you love your AstroFari when ____...
You know you love your Astro when, after not being able to drive it for a few weeks because you can't afford insurance, you sit out in it and just imagine driving it again.
I miss my van..
One or two more weeks and I might be able to drive it again!

You know you love your AstroFari when seven of your friends have bought them after seeing yours!

Re: You know you love your AstroFari when ____...
You know you love your Astro when you point out to your friends that if they look closely, there is a really cool AC Cobra in the foreground of this Astro van video.
And that, even though it''s not an Astro, the Cobra is still kinda cool in it's own way.

You know you love your Astro when you can't walk in your house and you have no coats to wear because you had to remove your seats and put them inside covered with coats to keep the cat off them!
