1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

We had a couple of them growing up, and a Mercury Villager that my dad had for a week before trading it in because it was such a POS

 

Its all about the drip

 

I have the one off of my mom's 100 series if it's the same part

I'm not sure if it is or not actually. Have a picture of it?

 

Id have to dig it out of my pile

 

This looks like the old model...

Why are they still playing Christmas music

 

The same reason they play it before thanksgiving and the same reason some asshole coined the idea "Christmas in July"

 

I hate it, I guess I’ll just have to keep listening to the shit on my phone. Cycle through that every couple of days

 

Damn that's pretty cool, I wonder if it was an option with the 4wd models. The first car I remember my dad buying when I was ~3 or 4 years old was an Aerostar van but it was an auto. I have some memories of us driving around on the beach with it in Corpus Christi, Texas as a kid.

Though it's cool I feel like it's not as cool as he makes it sound. I mean it's still a shit box Ford minivan, just with a stickshift

 

Get to embark on a 6+ hour drive home tomorrow with a 2 year old in tow, supposed to rain the entire way (been raining for almost a week straight here which is nuts), and the big mountain pass we have to cross to get into LA county is supposed to be getting snow all day long. And we're in our 2WD Rav4

Should be fun

 

I know there was an LWB with 4WD that shared the 4WD platform with the Explorer. The larger LWB model had the 4.0L V6.

Our first family minivan was an SWB Aerostar with a 3.0L V6. Later we traded another car for the LWB 4.0L platform. Both were good vehicles. We put over 150,000 miles on them. The LWB was comfortable for traveling. The transmission should be the same as an Explorer. Those are getting up in years.

 

Fighting drifts is a lot less scary when you have a 6” cedar post in front of you and a winch.

definitely had to use both of them

 

Morning all. Soon approaching another year

 

My company said we're closed today due to inclement weather... that means they'll pay me right?

I grew up in the NE, this is a normal level of snow as far as I'm concerned
