    As a Floridian, took our first trip up to Maine this summer and it was glorious to get out of the humidity and 100 degree temps! Can't wait to get back up to New England next summer

    Well, I'm so sorry to see that you had a mishap. I hope you are recovering well. Pretty good mileage for a weighted down vehicle. It seems like you were the leader of this trip, good for you. Please stay well and safe.

    Those vans are great! My neighbor has one with 400,000. miles and s.till drives it every day! Another friend had one with 450,000. and would still be driving it but he hit a deer and totaled it. Wonderful vans if you take a little care of them! Plus they drive and ride good.

      My parents had a '07 with my family of 6, and man was that thing reliable. We would push it past its payload on our almost 1000mile roadtrip to my grandparents, and the transmission wasn't the happiest sometimes when it was in overdrive. However, that van also took us up mountain roads and was used for in-town driving. That van got over 230k hard miles over 14years on it before it was totaled, but probably had several more left in it.

    Nice trop Rural! The sciatica problem will never get fixed by medical doctors.They just write scripts.Go to a good physical therapists or find a massage therapists who deals in this. Manipulating the muscles and stretching it out will fix you up. Believe me i started with sciatica when I was in my 20's. The doctors told me id never do physical work again. well 30 yrs later i'm still going because of what I mentioned! hope this helps!
