Be proud of your POS!

I got to thinking about my previous blog where I wrote how all my cars broke down at one time and began to wonder who, aside from myself, drives a POS. I would assume the list is quite lengthy since I see bunch of them rolling around on the streets these days, although that may just be because I live in Queens. As mentioned in my previous blog my daily driver and POS (actually just cost me $1200 to fix) is a 1997 Mercury Villager Mini-van aka, the "Danger Van" with 117,+++ miles on the clock.

I am now into this thing for a grand total of $3700 including the purchase price and it's been worth every penny . You see the best part about driving a POS on day to day basis is that I simply don't care what happens to it. Door dings, rock chips, broken parking light... all inconsequential. Am I rollin' heavy in this thing... um... no. In fact I am probably driving the only vehicle in existence that guarantees I won't get any play with the ladies, but that is not what a POS is all about it. I mean look at the basics. I've got vehicle which I don't worry about, it runs awesome (at least now it does), it has power everything, a tape deck (where's my Poison cassette?) and the A/C blows ice cold and to top it off I can put a hell of a lot of stuff in the back. To me its the perfect daily driver.

I love your van! . I'm glad to see your not exposing your nicer cars to the rigors of daily driver duty. It is a great idea to drive a POS daily, and, as you so magnificently put it (Be proud of your POS!), maybe I should be happy to get the opportunity to drive my '95 Voyager. It's reliable, it great for hauling stuff you don't want to expose to the weather, and, again as you said, is great because you don't need to worry about it. . Your van looks great, and is in better shape than mine is. And I'm jealous of your tan and gray two-tone interior. The bland gray interior in the Voyager is just so... Bland... If you have the time, come check out my POS. I like to keep my ride page looking (somewhat) nice and (somewhat) in order, so hopefully you'll enjoy it. . I rated you 5 stars
