91 Dodge Caravan. AWD??
Why is this in such good condition?
The intro is hilarious.

So here's the deal. This guy seems to be in Kansas. I think these gems are only because of the part of the country he's in.
Also, wait until you hear the service records on the van. Transmission replacement at 30k. Oh Chrysler.

Jamie's watching him drive around some field in this van and she's like "there's nothing to do in Kansas, that's why he's doing that."
My response: "Damn right. That is EXACTLY what I'd be doing if I lived in Kansas."

I really like this guy. While all the other automotive youtubers too busy showing off their supercars and trying to sell you knock off apparel this guy is showing off his stock 243k mile 911. And very proud of it!! KUDOS BRETHREN!!
Who buys a 911 and doesn't limiter-bash it pretty much all the time? Well I mean, besides middle-aged dentists?

The dentist joke is funny because it's true. My parents neighbor is an oral surgeon and he drives his Porsche very timidly.

I have to say this guy has a fleet more or less like I would have if I had approval for more vehicles. High mile 911, "cheap" S600 ("there's no such thing as a cheap Mercedes" but kinda), $500 Town Car, that AWD Caravan and it goes on. All way more interesting than most new cars.

That is just part of the regular maintenance schedule:
3000 miles - change oil
6000 miles - rotate tires
30000 miles - change transmission
3 years - flush coolant

Nice. I like these but they are pretty cramped by modern standards. I don't really see why they will appreciate but then I don't understand why the older Grand Wagoneers are worth so much either. It must be a Jeep thing because I don't understand.
Actually I do - because the 90s provided unprecedented powertrain reliability and decent power/economy without the extra crap that we have to deal with now that actually decreases reliability.

911 engine locked up. And Porsche is the reliable one.

Well, time to LS swap.
