Somebody wanted a Gatorade and someone else wanted Doritos and someone else wanted Häagen-Dazs.
So we got Gatorade, Doritos and Häagen-Dazs for everyone - there goes a c-note.

Except that you won't get very far on the 3 MPG this thing likely gets.

This is a funny thread. Made me chuckle. Especially like the idea of the Limo! 

With only 5 children (and likely no more due to medical issues), we're probably never going to need anything bigger than our 8 seater minivan. But how awesome are the new van's Ford, Dodge/Mercedes and (my favorite) Nissan are putting out??

While I like the look of the Ford Transit, I've had nothing but trouble with Fords.  I think that they're junk.  I have the smaller Kia SUV that I bought with 19K miles on it, and it now has 220K, still running strong, without anything other than routine work (and an alternator) that has EVER needed to be done to it.  Meanwhile, the Ford Expedition that my wife uses has 150K miles on it but needs to have something fixed at least once every 6 weeks.  So I would be inclined to try the Nissan over the Ford.
