He skipped leg day
I have to say I found this to look ugly and dated when it first came out. Now I’m kinda feeling it. Cute little wheels.
What a beaut. Always thought they kinda looked like a sperm without a tail.
…wut
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
The wheel to car ratio…
I think it’s just the photo. It was based on a truck, so it was a pretty hefty minivan. Plus cars these days have ridiculously sized wheels.
I think it being based on a truck qualifies it as a van, no mini. Maybe compact van?
Recently read or saw in a video, the tire tech hadn’t advanced to the point we really are today.
It sounds funny but they couldn’t make the walls strong enough (and cheap enough) for typical production vehicles like today (if my memory is correct!) that’s why today cars have much “shorter” looking tires
Interesting! If you run across it again I’d love to see it.
Sorry, you said wheel but I assumed you were referring to the tires.
I’ll see if I can find it because I found it super interesting as well, haha
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.
My mom had a red 1991, and I puked in it a ton. I remember her yelling at me “I opened the window, all the smoke is going out the window what are you complaining about?”. Long smokey drives that made me so car sick.
Just seeing one gives me the queezies.
Smoke from the car or your mom?
A legitimate question. The smoke was from my mom.
Wow, that is so really terrible. I was expecting the car. Sorry to hear that. How is your relationship to her?
This is a hilarious reaction to anyone older than 40.
times really have changed a lot (for the better).
Yep, riding in my moms 76 Honda civic, my mom would tell me (and my sister) to shut up when complaining about the smoke. Also the lit embers that would enevitably fling back into the back seat still hold some early memories.
I think that is the reaction of someone who’s parents did not smoke. Why would that not happen today?
I miss seeing those on the road. Name just fuckin rocks.
Thing was built on an F150 chassis and always felt solid. Unlike the later Windstar.
I don’t think they make this anymore?
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”…
My family had one of those even I was growing up. It was a late 80s or early 90s model. Same colors as that though. It was a pretty sweet ride. We went from being creamed in the back seat of a blazer and sharing a seatbelt to having our own seats.
Wait what happened to you in the back seat of the blazer?
Went there to get creamed, I’m assuming it’s some sort of bukkake situation or maybe just sunlotion but I don’t think the back seat of a blazer is as versatile as the ford aerostars so probably the first thing
No no I believe he means he was created in the back seat of a blazer
Someone is lying
This guy minivans
I minivanz
Maybe that’s why it’s a shitpost lol
Actually I have very fond memories of my family’s old Aerostar.
So many road trips on ours!
Mom, can we get a shuttle craft?
No honey, we have a shuttle craft at home.
The shuttle craft at home…
i liked to call it the Ford Fordstar
Why does this vehicle look like it has downs syndrome?
