Waaaaaay off topic

OK, I changed jobs. Had to give back my truck. Bummer.

New job doesn't come with a vehicle, but does come with a vehicle allowance.

So, do to the nature of my work, I carry a lot of stuff with me everywhere I go.

I bought a van. Dodge Grand Caravan to be exact. 2010 quite a few bell and whistles (cloth seats, no nav, no remote start, sto & go seating, but not electric)

I'm looking for a forum that has some traffic and is topical to what I need.

I UTFG & found a number of forums, but many have so little traffic so as to make them useless.


Anyone got anything?

That's going to be a rough one! Let's face it -- the average person driving a minivan is not necessarily going to be the type to do modifications or even basic maintenance on their vehicles. Providing recipes for a good slow-cooker pot roast for sure, but how to replace the passenger side interior door handle on an '08 Caravan is not likely to be a topic of conversation for the average minivan enthusiast......

That being said, I would probably hit a few of the Ram truck sites -- that's probably your best bet for finding mechanically-inclined internet surfers who may also own a Chrysler minivan as their "family truckster".....

We spent all weekend looking and they were all around 160k to 190k and for sale, apparently other think its time to get rid of them around that mileage also.. Glad we found this 07 with 52k on the odometer

All this van talk and no one has asked what is the right color to spray paint "Free Candy" on the side of it. I'm soooo disappointed in this place!!!

Mini Van does not equal free candy, well maybe after soccer games.

This van=free candy.

"Soccer Moms" are way too busy driving their kids to games to post. I think you are on your own.

Sorry had to.

Thanks, folks, for all the encouragement. I expected no less, really.

This one looks decent, several categories, has a lot of folks, some mods, and a couple service techs on board: http://forum.chryslerminivan.net/for...n-Mopar-Garage
