Default OT: Pics of my new daily, winter, and tow vehicle

Because every ITR stunna must have a pimped out wagon. Towing capacity is 5000lbs. 5.7L V8 !

That's a good choice Clayton, didn't know that they had such a high trailering capability.

Those vans are pretty nice. My friend has a 4x4 98 with the 4.3 V6 that he got from his Grandma. We welded up a turbo kit with a TE-44 on it, it's hilarious to suprise guys on the street. Too bad the awd system works like crap.

From what I now the astro engines are Vortec's at least the newer ones and that I also heard form a lot of places they have a stock supercharger like the Previa's however a S/C was a option on a Previa

I think my first mods will be some Moog Problem Solver front suspension components, autozone rotors, a CD/MP3 player, and a good alignment.

Of course now I have someplace to put all of my stickers

:Edit:

Note that the vehicle has changed. Went to look at the Mini van and it was a piece. Found this wagon on the way home.

I hope you've got a big garage to hide it in......ULGY. Looks half boat. hehehe.
Not that it matters for a tow car & winter basher.

I don't know anything about that car..... But from the photo.... YUK!!
I suppose it's cheap and powerful? Which is just what you need.
But what a design nightmare. Looks like a throw-back from the 60's.

What vintage is it ?????????
Cause it still seems well looked after, Later.
