VanManMSU's 1997 Dodge Caravan


This is my baby. Well at least since June 1st, 2002. My gramps gave it to me as a graduation present. It is by far the most generous gift I have ever been given, but have since been faced with the task of not looking like a soccer mom while driving it.

Here is a picture of my grampa and I on the big day when he handed over the keys to my new ride.

In this picture you can see the �DODGE� banner that I added across the top of the windshield. It was a small $6 alteration, but it made it look that much sportier. I have since gotten a new windshield and never put the banner back on, I am thinking that I will put some kind of vinyl graphic accross the top to replace it, but who knows

On the left is just a picture of one of the 16" stock wheels that came with the 97' Sport package. They are nice for stock I suppose. On the right you can see that I had put these motion activated red tire lights on in place of the original valve caps. The batteries ran out way too fast but the color of the valve caps matched the color of the car almost perfectly which I liked and they did look pretty cool when they worked. They have since been stolen, I have thought about buying them again, but who knows. If you look closely you can also see that my tires had a glittery red look. I got that from some Blackmagic red tire gel. The more you put on the brighter your tires, I didn�t put on too much, just enough to see some red. I never really decided if I liked it, but you need to reapply it every 2 weeks to keep the look and so unlike this picture from a few summers ago my tires are sporting a nice normal black look right now.

Here you can see the old red neon underbody kit, which I loved. Like I said on the front page, some people think they are stupid and flashy but I can be that way too sometimes and I think that is why I just absolutely love it.

This is just a shot of my van at night with the hatch open with the old system visible in the back and the old underbody kit on. A lovely sight I think, and it looks even better now.

These are the euro lights I installed on 10/11/02 just over three years ago now. I took them off after just about a year, personally I still really liked the look of them, but after awhile it seemed like every 16 year old boy racer wannabe put them on their car and I really grew tired of the stigma that went along with having them. So right now I am sporting the stock tails, the euro's are still at my house and I have never really decided what I want to do with them.
