Now thats funny. I have no inclings of wanting to burn the tires off or our new touring vehicle. Still nice to know you can if you need to.

What I am concerned about is whether the new 6 speed transmission is holding up better than the old 4 speed models. We have a Dodge Grand Caravan now and the tranny is slipping. Of course it has like 138,000 miles on it, but they have been plagued with issues over the years. I just read that Chrysler is planning for install the 8 speed BMW 7 class tranny into the newer 2011 T&C vans. Anyway we are just hoping to get a few years out of this one until we retire in 2017, and then we will more than likely buy ourselves a retirement vehicle at that time. By then the kids will all be grown and out of the house, so having a van will no longer be a requirement. I will post up some pics once we receive the van.
