Any slidey boi action yet?
Just some really minor doriftos coming out of roundabouts. These PS4s are pretty damn sticky, and given the thing isn't super powerful there's not a lot of power oversteer going on even with the nannies fully off. I need to do an autox or something.
I have a near new set of 18” Michelin A/S 4’s in storage. 2000 highway miles on them. $500 shipped and they’re yours.

Thank you, but this is purely fair weather vehicle for me. No need for all-seasons :like:

Not the most fun thing to blow money on, but it allows the GR86 to stick around, and for that reason I love it. Plus the kids are ALL about riding in the minivan. Hopefully it'll be a reliable thing for the next few years.

I bet it'll hold up just fine with standard maintenance, sometimes you gotta do the right fit for the family. I'm just stoked to have a 'twins bro' on the forum still :megusta: and I mean the cars :lolol: :trollface:

I did the spark plug, valve clearance, and valve cover gasket service at the same time. $2,000 lit on fire. :ohwell:

Agreed. Hence the :ohwell:. It would have been nice to find one with these services done already, but literally everyone dumps these things once they get to this age/mileage and skips out on those two services. And the ones that don't need it yet, they're still closing in on 100k and would have cost $10k more. One way or another, you pay.

We just got back from FL, while exploring the state we travelled in a rental spec Chrysler Voyager. The transmission was hot garbage and after 40k the engine idled like a tractor but it was an incredibly comfortable and versatile machine to travel in with two kids in tow. I'd :woodplow: it if I needed to no question.

Hope this bad-boy stays reliable for you.

Thanks man. The bolded is the exact reason why I never considered one. Despite the Odyssey having only a 5 speed, I think it's fine. It doesn't hunt for gears, it doesn't have any weird behavior, it just gets the job done. The engine is sowing machine smooth with 135k on it too, overall it's pretty remarkable how good this thing feels.

Dafuq is a Chrysler Voyager? Is that like the Town and Cunt? As in not the :fancy: new Pacifica version of the minivan line?

Rental fleet spec of the same thing, methinks. Trans is hot shit either way.

I booked a Camry so I appreciated the free upgrade. Kids had captains chairs in the second row and one or the other occasionally moved to the third row to get away from their brother.

I asked my wife if she would consider one of these, and to that she responded: "I appreciate the power sliding doors, voluminous space, and practicality, but I just can't bear to look at this thing from the outside". :lolol:

My wife feels the same way. She insisted up and down she'd never drive the thing, but twice now when she's gone to pick up the kids she's taken the Odyssey instead of the Atlas.

"Oh, it was out already." (it lives in the driveway) was the excuse.

Uh huh. Sure sure. :yeahok:

Or maybe it's just a better tool for ferrying crotchfruit. I'm totally fine keeping the miles off the Atlas and piling them on the :minivan:, doe.
