What's funny is how much I like minivans lol. The boy and wife both dislike the 08 odyssey, but really like the 98, my daughters like the new one because it has the DVD player. I hit a deer with the 98 a couple falls ago and had a heck of a time getting a headlight for it, ended up getting one from Australia. The hood is still bent up as is the fender, and it still needs the grill and the radiator could use to be replaced. I drove it over a yr without a headlight, mainly during the day. I put a JDM engine in it in 2020, the boy and I drove out west of Chicago to pick that up during the time when many locked themselves in there homes, yes we were super spreaders. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, it's starting to get a bit of rust, which is when I'm usually done with a vehicle. I typically buy vehicles that have come to Michigan from out of state, the van came from Colorado, so the paint was burnt on the roof, same with my 99 suburban that I sold around 2020 after buying my 2000 excursion that was primarily used for towing a camper, so no rust.
Sounds like you did get you use out of it, I try to do that with my rides too, unfortunately rust is a big issue up here and makes it harder.
Bummer about your truck. I wrecked my last 97 honda hatchback, I was pretty bummed about that one. It wasn't the nicest, but had a 5 speed and ran like a top, and had no rust.
That would be cool, I've met some great people from the forums, only a few real oddballs
