It was actually the kids from the other family sitting in the back of the Aerostar. Still, someone could have been killed!

my irl best childhood vehicle memories are road tripping in a 1991 ford aerostar. i just don't know if future grown ups will talk wistfully about the 2024 hyundai palisade. maybe! but idk.
We had an Econoline. Had bucket seats that swiveled and you could pull up a spot in the carpet to implant a heavy ass table between the bucket seats. The 3rd row was a bench that pulled out into a (what seemed to me, I was young) big ass bed. Even had a wooden shelf in the back with a box tv on top, that just magically stayed in place, that I never remember working. Good times.

Omg we had one too! Man, that thing made a family trip to Panama City, Florida every summer for over a decade. My dad would pack the cooler full of dr thunder and mountain lightning, stuff tasted like absolute ass. The first time one of us drank it we almost spit it out, but my dad was like it tastes great. Years later he told us he wanted to pour it out because it legit tasted like ass but he wanted to save money and put it towards the trip not $100 gas station stops. Great times.

That's hilarious. I think ours was around an '89. Also driven all over the country once a summer to spend more time driving than actually at the destination. No regrets tho frfr.

I'd forgotten about our family Chevy van but that was high school. The real memories were in the 1975 Oldsmobile station wagon. Nothing like climbing over the seat to get dad a cold drink so we could keep making good time.

Not actual photos of the vehicles dad owned but thank you for the trip down memory lane.

my friend’s dad had a conversion van with giant windows on the side and captain’s chairs in the back that had a chess table between them and a small built in couch.  chess is a very classy game and that was a very classy van.

Wow ok I guess I'll be the chiefs one. We had a Mazda mpv. When you saw that Sears es-cargo strapped to the roof it was like when all of the power rangers did the thing.

Really sad fact: we were in that very van, December 1998, st Louis bound, when the transmission died a painful death so we had to be towed back to Wichita from like emporia I think. To this day I still hold the belief that had I made it to the game, my incredible enthusiasm and face paint would have been that extra bit to get us to the Natty.
