"hammering large pieces of timber into spaces not large enough to hold them."
So, kind of like what I do to my girlfriend ever night? Ehhhhhhh!

Just because I knew it was illegal doesn't mean that I knew I shouldn't have done it .....

Seen a few being built, been to the shop, got offered a job by Bob himself. Couldn't take it, no way could I move to Texas. A good college friend of mine who I've been trying to get onto the whole inter-blog-o-sphere thing works for him. He's been there for a couple years now and frequently works on the P4s. They've also got some pretty decent regulars who own Gumpert Apollos, twin turbo Lexus IS-Fs, assorted Lambos and Ferraris. I visit him as much as I can, I'll take some pics next time I'm down to through your way!

Why do I feel like that the tow order should be reversed?

That's almost the beauty of the Pacifica, though. It isn't a minivan or an SUV, and that's why people want them. Not all soccer moms have succumbed to a slow death in a Toyota Sienna and a lot of them are also concerned with fuel mileage. Enter: Pacifica. I'm the last person you'll ever see defending Chrysler but I'll be the first to admit the Pacifica wasn't a bad crossover. New, they were pricey. Now used, they are a bargain.

On another aside, the Pacifica did do one thing that was just entirely mind boggling. If you look at the third picture from the top you'll see the center console stack. In that stack is a separate slot at the bottom that says DVD and has the AV inputs. These vehicles, from the factory, came with a dvd player but no monitor in which to watch them from. They expected the customer to go buy a mobile screen with AV inputs. To this day that just blows my mind that they would allow you to play DVDs but not see them. Woot, Chrysler.

Working for a very large national used vehicle retailer I get to see all kinds of vehicles, small to large. I've been there for roughly a year now and out of everything that I normally sell I probably sell more Pacificas than anything else. This is mostly due to the fact that they are a bargain right now. You can get a minivan layout, better fuel economy, better ride quality, and a decent slew of options all for around $18k (06-07 Touring model with 30-50k on the clock). I always make sure the customer buying the vehicle knows that they are essentially buying a failed Mercedes and to make sure they get the extended service plan, because build quality was a huge issue on these things. But in that price range there isn't anything else that can even hold a flame to it option per option. All in all these things are a bargain used. Hating Chrysler as much as I do I would never buy one for myself but for a lot of families they do exactly what they are intended to.
On an aside, weren't they built from Mercedes' R class scrap pile?

Thanks to Ray Wert, we already know it does anal!

This is dangerous. Now where do I begin?
Strong willed, cute as a button, proper and very intelligent, tall/skinny, from multiple ethnic decent, very frugal, and usually a pain in my ass. But mostly only a pain in my ass because I'm a bigger pain in the ass.

Does this description qualify as a $500 LeMons E30? And is that a bad thing?

So that's what Pandora's box looks like on the inside. It doesn't even make any logical sense. I salute that.
