reckon we do

I have sat in this seat for probably 180,000 of the 192,381 miles on this car. and it has been a good one too. It is just only two months and a few days short of 16 years old, and as one of my brother-in-laws said "youall keep a car a good while" so they better be good ones. This one is.



We periodically say all we need is "two more years" out of this car- and low and behold - we get it. again and again, kids in college, kids getting out of college, kids getting married and Patt and I deciding to go visit a kid somewhere or whatever.

  1. Uncle Paul, I love that you wrote a post about your minivan. I can't tell you how many times I've heard Dad say that he wishes he still had his green minivan. Here's to "two more years."

    love, Karen

  2. did that thing not qualify as a clunker?! Lots of memories of green vans since 3 of the brothers had a green one at some point. I guess that's why I love my green van and hope it lasts as long as yours!

  3. There was a time I swore I'd never ever ever drive a minivan...probably about the same time you (and my dad) got your green ones! We've had ours now for 2 years and can't imagine not having it. What's the saying...never say never!

  5. I keep wanting a van back, my sedan is just not as good. Is only 9 years old and 100,000+ miles but I still miss my van. Remind me to tell my joke about vans.
