cant believe it made it long enough to look that bad. Aerostars were hunks of shit when they left the plant!
Check out this sweet van(gotta see it to believe it)

That thing should be taken off the road. Can you amagine how rotted the brake lines must be?
One thing to think about though. Even though he works at the mines and makes good money, you never know whats going on in his life. When my kid had cancer I went from having a brand new 03 Cobra,01 WS6,87 Grand National,93 Cobra and a mint 97 F250 to tow with sitting in my garage to driving an old pickup that was worth about $1500 at the most.:shrug:

guy makes $100k a year and drives around in that?!?!?!...rich people get money, won't spend it *shrug* lol
there's a guy here that owns Newbury St in Boston, and probably other properties as well...if anybody doesn't know newbury st, it's loaded with high end boutique shops...he drives around in a older volvo wagon (probably 01) nothing as bad as that death trap...Ma state police would have just blown it up and taken the hit in pay lol

I'd happily check on this every day if you continue to update this.
I'm originally from MN so this is cracking me up, definitely a lot of people with money up there that could care less what they are driving. Pragmatic is a way of life. BTW, this could turn into a "post your rustbucket" thread pretty easily.
Hey guys he works for fords durability team he got fired back in 92 for never bringing the vehicle back tho
You know those times when your friend is drunk and you have to drive them home in their car and you think, "Man, what a pile, I can't imagine driving this everyday." But then you realize thus guy does this all day every day and is probably so used to it that the steering feels rock solid to him!
Apparently it's still alive lol.
Thanks for the update. Man, that van now looks like it is just seconds away from literally falling apart.
Apparently it's still alive lol.
Jesus christ how does that thing even move. I literally just lol'd in the shitter at work after looking at that.

Is there no inspection in your state
Nope no testing of any kind in Minnesota. And yeah this guy isn't down on his luck or anything like that, he's just a nut job. Doesn't keep any of his money in the bank, he has it all at his house and he has an arsenal of guns. Looney tunes.

Actually Aerostars were tough as hell, they just ended up rusting into the ground.
We used to have one as a runner at a dealership I worked at and we beat the living daylights out of it and the thing never, ever broke down and only got retired after it was hit by a train.

We had one as our runner too. Which dealership? I was at Northstar in Duluth.
Holy crap, that is definitely the biggest POS I've ever seen. Except for the latest generation Camaro.
:lol: :lol:
I understand not wanting to drive a nice car during the winter, but good God! That thing isn't safe to look at, much less drive it.
Pics?

Quality Lincoln in Blomington, I'm at Tousley Ford now.
That was a long time ago, before digital cameras were even remotely common.
The guy driving wasn't paying attention to the lights at a level crossing and got blasted in the right rear of the van, got pretty lucky that the train wasn't going very fast and it was the rear that got hit and not the front.
