Regrettable Rides: A Definite Lack of Effort

The Dodge Caravan, along with stablemates the Plymouth Voyager and Chrysler Town and Country, have been around since 1983. In no incarnation has this ever been considered a particular attractive vehicle. The example below, which appears to be a first generation model (pre 1991), with it's light beige paint job, was probably less attractive than average in it's day (and if you remember the late 1980s, there were a lot of bland cars on the road), and slapping on a once-silver door didn't exactly help. Nor did the wildly mismatched wheels. I don't think it's a case of the front one missing the hub cab, those are entirely different wheels. The fact the front wheel is slightly turned might be misleading, but I wouldn't be surprised if those wheels aren't even the same size.

It gets worse, though. You can't read it, but in the driver door window, there's a for sale sign. It's written with a light marker on a square of cardboard. Brown corrugated cardboard, of course. For all I know, the entire box is sitting in the driver's seat.

Not sure I can really blame the owner for not putting all that much effort into maintaining and selling a 20 year old minivan. At least he's optimistic that someone out there would actually want to buy it.
