I will keep the Chevy Venture in mind of vans to avoid when we start shopping for a new car in 18 months.

Ugh-I'm so ready to drive that heap over a cliff! It's nowhere near being paid off (thanks to refinancing in $11K from our old car when we bought it.) and every stupid month SOMETHING is going wrong. In the last 2 years I have replaced the windshield twice (apparently the angle of the glass makes it more susceptable to rocks flying up off the road), brakes twice (of course a couple weeks AFTER they went out of warranty), the glove compartment is TAPED together because the stupid latch broke and it's $50 plus labor to fix!!!!, replaced tires twice, and now the stupid battery keeps draining itself and won't start, and the bright headlights are completely out (but we have no idea if it's a short or what.) How frustrating!!! I was really hoping to trade it in next month before having to pay the taxes and plates again since that's another $250 I really don't have to spend. But since the ex still hasn't paid the back debts, I don't see it happening. Blah! Hope yours does better!!! Is it a Chevy Venture???? Ugh-I’m so ready to drive that heap over a cliff!
