Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Hehehe. I knew you were talking about your new truck, but very clever!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Hey buddy!

Did you know the baby milk just went over $4.00 a gallon today??

I understand they pump it in advance then store it for future use.


:ursofunny

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

It went over $4 a couple of weeks ago around here. I haven't checked on it since the last time I was out, so I don't know where it is today.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

SH,
You're certifiable.......

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

It's nice living in a dairy state. The milk I buy is just over $3 a gallon. Might start putting that in my van instead of gas!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Those things always look to me like they were designed by two escaped mental patients, one drunk, one hung over, and their pet chimpanzee using an orange juice carton and a pair of first-grade safety scissors.

But I'm glad YOU like it! :highfive :laffatu

There's no accounting for taste! :rolleyes2

I understand the initial version with the inline 5 is capable of 25 or 26 mpg.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

What does Kristin think about this new van?

Whooo weeee bro.

That is one ugly van. LOL

One big plus is that you won't have to worry about anyone stealing it. And it is a good thing you don't live where they have subdivision rules etc. They might take a vote and force you to keep it under wraps. :)

What is it for?

Work?

Family?

Scaring off small varmints?

LOL

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Yes the newer ones are a V-6. They can get 24 empty, but outfitted I am going to be thrilled to get 19 - 20 mpg.

UGLY? No Way! But for the grace of God I would catch myself being tempted to worship it....

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I can't believe you think she is ugly! Look at her cute little ears... She is just a doll.


This van will be used in my LLC (Chimney Service Co.) While Kristin has an interest in the LLC, I happen to be the Manager. :) (The reverse is true concerning our homeschool):runhills

Speaking of small animals... I am off to investigate a fireplace/chimney that is acting as a door for a family of racoons... they came in for the third time last night and rumaged though the pantry.

Should I take the new van?

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I have a local accqaintence that manufacturers methane reclaiming devices....

It is currently limited to dairy farms, but think of the possibilties...

... of adjusting your diet each evening according to the distance of tomorrow's destination....:bliss

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Steve, I like ya, dude. And I usually respect your opinion whether I agree or not.

but I gotta tell you - this van is just plain dog-ugly! I'm glad YOU like it :reaction

Enjoy your new toy, my friend. It looks top heavy to me, so be careful in it. We like you here. Sure hate to see anything happen.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Very nice. Just make sure to keep it a MAN van! No car seats..... Or little boxes of tissue between the seats. Or dry cereal from the kids on the floor.....
Ever consider having a Molly Hatchet album cover painted on the side?

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

:tissue:tissue:tissue

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

It will be a man's van. I will post outitted pics in a few weeks.

I hate heavy metal.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Probably not. The effect would only be temporary. Once you and the van returned home the raccoons would only return.

Perhaps you could rent out a life size cut out of the van. :)

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, brother. Maybe you wouldn't like my van either. I guess we're all entitled to our own opinions :friend

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

As a proud new parent (at least I was) I feel rejected. I need treatment for postpartum depression. I "post" and they attack me on "part'um" dem pictures...

Re: YES! A New Baby!

Lying is a sin, you sure you hate heavy metal?:hmmm


BTW, I am happy for your new van acquisition however, I do agree that it is a little on the homely side.
Perhaps it will look better with your new grapics?:hypercoffee

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Ahemmm...

The broken guitar has more than one symbolism...

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Oh the pain!

You all are cruel!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Oooo Ooooo Oooooo I think you should have that picture airbrushed onto the side of your new van. Now THAT would look kewl!!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Don't be too hurt brother.

We are all holding out that, once you pimp your ride, that you might have us all fighting off the sin of envy. :)

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

That they paid you too much money & now you gots money to waste?:hmmm

:hypercoffee


BTW I like the name "The Hoover House" & it is neat that it is being used for Bible Studies & such!


Hey maybe your slogan should be this,

"I'll sweep your chimney while Jesus sweeps your sins away!":hmmm

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Ok, I'm the weirdo here I guess, but I actually like this van. I think it's cute. I'm sure Stephen won't want to hear that it's "cute", as that is the one word my husband NEVER wants to hear to describe anything that belongs to him. But it's my word of choice.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

THIS needs to be airbrushed on the side! No "sissyfication" allowed!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Since it's my "baby" she can be cute.

BTW I can stand up inside the van. (I am 5' 8") It is the same length and 8" taller than my full sized Chevy Express.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

RW, Is'nt that sort of demonic?

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

No more than classic flames on an old 50's muscle car. :)

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I am pretty sure he bought this van as a work van, so he was interested more in fuction than style. One good thing about that van is he doesn't have to worry about it rolling completely over. Them things are high enough that a feller could stand up in it and still have room over his head! :)

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

OK then - demonic.


:runhills

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

The older I get the more I realize....

God sure does work in mysterious ways!

Can someone photoshop my Sprinter into this cradle????

:)

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

That is a cute picture!!! Were you reflecting on the cost of college tuition? :killinme

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

CUTE!?!

I'm "cute", my new wheels are "cute" - I think I'll start wearing some pink lace!

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I like it, like the color. But I would want more windows. Is this for your business or family?

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Strictly business.

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I know, I posted before I read the whole thread. And I think you are KEWL and CUTE........:gaga

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

Did you want me to growl or something?

:toofunny

Re: YES! A New Baby!
 

I know someone that can and does a pretty good job at it, I'll see if he'll do it.
