@shakerhood, I found a thread I started almost three years ago...

What do you think of the Ford Windbag?

 

I dont care for mini-vans

 

Mine was a POS. After 6 years? Gave it to the nephew for $2,000, he totaled it a year later. I still tell him it was the best $2k vehicle he will ever have.

 

I miss the '04 Honda Odyssey my parents used to have!

 

The mid engine all wheel drive honda odyssey with a 3.5 V6 is one hell of a mini van. Hard to find though.

 

?

 

they weren’t all, all wheel drive. The 4x4 that are still on the road are really hard to find. 90% were front wheel drive.

 

There was never an AWD Odyssey, at least not in North America...

 

These things used to come into the shop all the time. Entire quarter panels and supports rotted away. They had a recall on them because it effected the seatbealts. Recall was to install a support mount. Never covered the rot holes just braced the rear and gave the seatbelt something to be supported to.

 

haha! I’m thinking of the Sienna.

 

My parents almost bought one of those when they came out with the new '04 models in 2003, but one thing that turned them away was that the van took premium fuel!

 

They could have put a turbo on it though!

 

Who made a turbo for the Sienna?

 

Lots of them now, but in 04 you would have had to DIY. any T4 Turbo .57 A/R Turbine .50 A/R Compressor would have done the trick.

 

@shakerhood

Going back to your kitchen, did you replace the cabinet frames, or just the doors and drawers?

 

Have you ever owned one of these?

 

a few of my buddies race two of them and I helped set them up. I have a race car with the Odyssey engine in it and that was the confusion. We all race the 24 hours of Lemons if you have ever heard of it.

 

In the next day or so, this thread will be merged with MegaThread; I know people will be wondering about their posts appearing there so I'm making a PSA...

 

As far as vehicles in general though, what do you think? The nickname I've given the Windstar (Windbag) should tell you everything you need to know about what I think of them!

 

I really never paid much attention to them, rarely study up on vehicles that I don't care for.
