Lol. I love you all.

This van will allow me more time to park and work on the Suburban and the gas savings will mean more money to invest in it.

That's a win-win.

I use to think minivans were the most uncool vehicles ever made. My new acquisition has opened my eyes to the absolute awesome versatility these are capable of. Lol

I have always liked wagons and Suburbans and just plain old big stuff and I have never cared what others thought. I just had to overcome my own bias to truly appreciate this class of vehicles. Lol

This article makes a good point.

Ok, so now that you have it,

How fast will it go?

Really. It's for a scientific study.

So it is governed around 111 or so. The only place that it felt absolutely inadequate at speed was the brakes. Had plenty more to give though. I am sure it would go right past that 120 speedo if allowed.

Those brakes are the only place it was making sure I knew it was a van.

Ordered some mats for the van. If they are decent then they blow the rest out of the water. $74.90 with free shipping.

4 kids and 3 dogs make these a must. I will update with fit and quality when they arrive. Maybe a set for y’all’s cars in the future if they are any good.

Mats came in. Not perfect, but cheap enough to be great.
