Best cross country vehicle = S-3B

Reasonably fast, plenty of cargo space, and fun low level at destination.

I'll start. Meet the *Ronnie Raygun* [yes, we name our cars].

It's a 1988 Chrysler Town & Country woodie. Completely original; 90K miles.

It's the quintessential Ugly Duckling....it's so funky...it's cool again. We've enjoyed daily road trips; it's very comfortable, has A/C, seat belts, fair mileage [26mpg]...and a cassette player!

I had a 65 Olds 425 Rocket V8, 370hp Delta 88. It was powerful and got surprisingly good gas mileage. Many happy memories go along with it.

First my Father owned it then my older brother then it was mine. It had positraction which helped when taking my date on one of those rough country roads.

Comfortable, fast, even nimble handling. Cruise the interstate doing 80 all day. It was just loafing along.
