I think my 65 year young dad can still kick my a$$ so I wouldn't try either.
#340 of 378 beach and malt... by javadoc Jun 14, 2002 (5:04 pm)
See, you guys spend too much time sitting in front of your computers surfing edmunds (like I don't, right?), so you've become, ahem, slow... and your dad's can catch you! Of course my pop can still haul in halibut better than I can. All those years of him hanging drywall, and me driving keyboards, eh? And I'm jealous that he's got a jetski at 63years young. If I could just get him to sell that Dakota and get an MPV van... (content)   Yes, happy Dad's Day to y'all!   /java

Good grief - I'm talking to a bunch of old people here. I thought I would be enlightened by what's new with my current age group but obviously I was wrong. Here we are in '02 and I remember when my father told me back in '41 that..ah... wait a minute....2002-1941= Nevermind.
#343 of 378 An "old-timer" by wkb4447 Jul 26, 2002 (9:50 pm)
Looks like the 2002 MPV has finally placed the breed near the lead, the up-tick in power a welcome improvement. However, our 89er won't die. Oh, sure, when we fire it up in the morning, it roars like a screaming banshee...and, the quirky three door arrangement (not even a slider!) seems woefully out-of-date. But, it rides like a car, and gets us everywhere we need to go. Guess we'll wait a few more years and buy one of these 2002s in good condition.
#344 of 378 Another new 2002 LX owner by lwhitty Jul 31, 2002 (10:22 pm)
After lurking here on Edmunds for the past few weeks, and reading all the posts from the many satisfied and obviously intelligent MPV owners, my wife & I finally decided to pick up a 2002 LX for a great price yesterday. The MPV seems like a much better value than the other mini van on our list, the Odyssey. It's true what they say about being able to get a good deal the last day of the month. So far, we're thrilled with the vehicle.   A previous post mentioned that the Duratec 3.0 engine has three of the plugs near the rear firewall. Is this true? I was told by the dealer that all six plugs were easily accessible from the front. I couldn't verify this because of the cover plate over the top of the engine. I was hoping to avoid the problem I had of replacing the rear plugs in my previous van, a Windstar, where you needed an extra joint in you arm between the wrist & elbow to get to them. But then again, since they don't have to be replaced for another 99,060 miles, I suppose I shouldn't worry about it.
#345 of 378 The '02 is finally home... by maltb Aug 01, 2002 (7:31 am)
After a bit of wait we finally have our '02 MPV. Everything is basically the same as our old one but the drivetrain is MUCH, MUCH better. Front cup holders actually hold drinks rather than spill them on your leg on a hard right turn. The suspension feels a bit more stiff and the sliding doors now have a positive lock in the open position (no more express closes by slamming the brakes). Other than that, it still has all the great stuff that we've come to love.
#346 of 378 Malt by beachnut Aug 01, 2002 (8:03 am)
I'm jealous buddy - enjoy your latest ride! What color did you get btw? ES or LX? Your slamming brake method of closing the doors could still come in handy to shake all those admirin' wimmins loose from the MPV
#347 of 378 LOL by maltb Aug 01, 2002 (8:06 am)
Who says I wanna shake them loose?   Got a rare and exotic Pure White LX with rear air and a step plate. Asked for a trailer hitch but it is either well concealed or missing. Udder dan dat, it's basically a strippy and will suit our crew well.
#348 of 378 by javadoc Aug 01, 2002 (9:04 am)
LOL! Beach, maybe he figures with the extra 'zoom zoom,' he can just run away from the wimmins that chase him. You lucky guy (the van, not the wimmins).
