I took my driving test in a 1992 Ford Aerostar minivan.

Could swear I read that before. We must have had this thread already.

Fuck yeah we had one. Wood paneling and royal blue.

Riding in the back IS STILL as close as we've come to time travel

My family didn't, but our neighbors did and I got to ride in that beast a lot. I remember us kids wrestling in the very back most of the rides. Definitely a different world.

My folks had one for a little while in the mid to late 80s before the mini van made its appearance.
Don't recall the color exactly but think it was a dark blue. Essentially looked like this:

I had a buddy in high school that drove a late 80s Cavalier station wagon and put a big old box with
huge speakers in the back. Sounded bad and shook the whole car but that is what kids were into in
high school back then.

loved riding in the way back

Family vacations used to include my grandparents. I don't know how we packed everything in there. I used to get a little area in the way back carved out between suitcases. My dad would always get Winchell's or Amy Joy Donuts the night before a car trip and leave by 6 am.


I loved Amy Joy as a youth. Are they still around?


I don't think so. We used to go to the one on Milwaukee just north of Touhy across from the motel. I think Niles bought up the land to expand its police station.

And no we never had one....our cars growing up were a 73 Torino and a 77 Marquis.



The best beater I ever had was a '76 Grand Marquis. Great runner but looked like shit. Four door that only the driver's door opened.

My mom has a '72 Bel Air wagon. Wish I had it now. Sweet ride...
