[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 113076, member: 3444"] Oh yeah? Well I drive a '99 Chevy Astro van with roughly 114,000 miles. I KNOW what it says about me: It has multiple dents, dings and scratches on the outside; enough stale french fries and crumbs between the seats and ground into the carpet to feed a small country; a kaleidoscope of coffee, vanilla shake, and orange soda stains dribbled down the sides of the cupholders; a bungee cord holding the glovebox closed since I discovered that duct tape stretches too much in the summer heat; a passenger side window that lost its control button somewhere down inside the door panel (thanks to husband getting frustrated one day and pounding on it with his index finger) and which will [i]occasionally[/i] go back up when controlled from the driver's side; a driver's side sun visor that behaves more like a porch swing; a front passenger seat that no longer reclines (another feature courtesy of husband); a dome light you don't dare leave on for more than three minutes or the battery will go dead as a doorknob; and a sliding side door that requires the force of three children simultaneously jerking out and back (got that? [b]OUT[/b] and [i][b]BACK[/b][/i]) in order to open it; closing it requires the well-placed right foot of an 11yo boy shoving with all his might. But hey, it runs and it's paid for, and I love listening to husband b!tch about how much he hates it, knowing that he has to put up with us having it for at least six more months because he blew our budget this year and we can't afford a new one right now.
