Damn Canadian money, I guess that is really not all that bad as it would be in USD.

just meant that he put litters instead of liters

but see it's not funny when I have to explain it

edit: and it would also make more sense if the other post I was replying to was still there. Someone said something about all the cool cars he could have gotten for $48k, and I was making that they saw the "canadian" part

I got the joke. And I tried to play on it by saying he has 3.3 litters with intelligence (VVTi = variable valve timing with intelligence). Sorry, I have a lame sense of humor.

edit: Oh I see my subject says 'makes no sense ' . I mean my joke 3.3 litters with intelligence makes no sense. hehe

I'm sorry, but peeling out is not a very good indication of power. Just a lack of effective traction. I can get my parents' old 93 Villager to peel out and it only has 151 hp.

At the end of the summer my parent will be purchasing a used minivan. They are looking for a 2000 for around $30k American. New they cost around $50k. Just imagine the kind of cars my mom could drive around, and let me drive sometimes.

It is a wheel chair minivan that we need to have. It has the floor lowered, power ramps, air suspension so it can lean to the side so the ramp isn't as steap. And a lot of other crap. It kind of sucks that they cost so much. Fortunatly my parents can afford it, but I'm sure there are a lot of handicap people out there that can't afford a $50k vehicle.


And a minivan doesnt have to have power to spin out. I used to do it all the time in my parents old minivan. People would give me the weirdest looks, but I only did it to see how people would react.

Maybe an Odyssey, but an MPV? That is just your kiss Mazda's *** personality talking. Sienna is a good choice in a Minivan.

BTW... That was me that started to post about the price Nate, I edited it when I noticed the "cdn" at the top (which was about 5 seconds after I made my initial post). Hence the "damn Canadian money".

Congrats buddy
Siennas are good minivans
(I speak from the point of view that our family owns one, dodge to be excat and every other ******* day, there is a problem with it)

Anyway, they are very nice, comfortable and very good resale value as stated before.

Just, PLEASE, don't let me see you pealing a AWD minivan, that is not funny....lol....

Anyway, I peel the minivan all the time, I wonder if I could do it know, just put new tires on them....one way to find out

Test drive it when I get off work today
