Lofty goals, but you don’t choose the Aerostar. The Aerostar chooses you.
Thing was built on an F150 chassis and always felt solid. Unlike the later Windstar.
I think we went through 3 trannys on one within the warranty period… Great ride with sliding windows and sliding door. Good times. I recall my dad showing me the engine under the hood. I don’t have any idea how someone worked on it. It was horribly crammed in.
The wheel to car ratio…

Interesting! If you run across it again I’d love to see it.

I should have been clearer, I meant the wheel and tire combo. They look like they belong on a much smaller vehicle. And I was alive when this car was new and my memory of it doesn’t look like this lol.
I need one of these for the drive shaft lol
Stangbro!
It’s hard to find them at the junkyard that haven’t been trashed by the forklifts
I had a lot of fun with one of these when I was a teenager. Trying to do donuts backwards, off-roading through the woods chasing after my friends that were on dirt bikes, taking the back seats out to fit all manner of things inside…
I think about the only thing it didn’t do was get me laid lmao
My first car was its less stylish GM frienemy, the Chevy Astro. Good pep from the torquey compact pickup engine (as long as you had completely normal and dry roads, otherwise it was fishtail city), the versatility to take out the middle row for maximum mailbox vandalism efficiency (in and out like the MF’in A-Team!), and the forward visibility of Wonder Woman’s invisible jet.
All manner of things… ours had the nickname “fuck truck”…
Mom, can we get a shuttle craft?
No honey, we have a shuttle craft at home.
The shuttle craft at home…
He skipped leg day
I miss seeing those on the road. Name just fuckin rocks.
Besides there being no 1998 Aerostar, this is one of the early models. The badges on the front fenders went away after the first few model years, and the later ones have composite headlights rather than the sealed beams.
The original pussy wagon.
