Here is my 2006 that gave its life to save mine and my mom's. Other driver turned right from a left turn lane into my path. I was going 50mph.

This one seems to be a completely different vehicle.

Hope everybody is OK.

Oh, that's the other vehicle.

 

Oh wow!

Glad to hear of no injuries.

 

Well I didn't say that. I'm bruised and beat up all over and my 82 year old mom has 11 broken ribs and fractured vertebrae. I don't know the condition of the other driver and his passenger but I gather her injuries we're quite severe. I'm 6'5" 300 pound but guy and I think I'd have two broken knees or legs if it weren't for the knee bag. Fortunately most of the impact was on my side of the van or my mom would be worse off.

The other car...

Wow that was a nasty accident. I'm glad the van did its job. Your replacement looks really nice.

 

There's a reason they put these signs up there...

I wish you and your mom quick and complete recovery.

On the other hand that blacktop trim looks very sharp in white. Congrats on the purchase.

 

Another odd thing about my new van is that it has rear window shades, but only on the sliding doors. Nice to have them though. It also has the rear heated seats and the 110 outlet even though it doesn't have the rear DVD. I've only seen those outlets on the vans with the RGB and HDMI inputs on that panel.

 

That van is very well equipped but you are missing one thing that most of us have on our 5th generations.

 

What's that?

No, not bugs, not the front end, but along the sides.

 

Oh, you mean the side moldings. Yes, I thought it was odd that they dropped them but I like it without them. I just hope I don't get dinged since they're not there.

Another odd thing is that it has the shades for the sliding door windows but not the quarter windows.

That looks like a nasty wreck. I hope you both recover fully and soon!

Your pics have actually made me rethink looking at a GC when we replace our T&C. It looks great!

 

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm doing better but my mom is still in the hospital. She's going to have a long recovery.

I was probably going to end up with a T&C because I always get leather seats in my vans but the R/T and now the GT has leather. There is a lower model that has leatherette seats but that's not the same. Only the first two rows in this are actually leather but I almost never use the third row. I really like the all black interior instead of the two-tone of other ones. Even the headliner is black. Had to get a white car since I live where it gets over 100 quite often. Good sun shades help and I love the remote start to get the A/C going before I get to the car.
