A decade later, I'm still living it down.

I spotted a red Ford Aerostar on my way to work today and it brought back memories of the red Aerostar from my youth.


The van we took along on countless road trips.

The van the kids dubbed "Big Red."

The van that shuttled me to and from junior high every day.

The van I crashed into a toll booth when I was 15.


And let me tell you, my parents were thrilled.
