1997 Vehicles

Many of my friends and I argue as to the best year for automobile production. While many people think back to the classic hot rods of the 60's and 70's others look to the future in the new Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. Myself, I look at 1997 as the best year for cars because of the Plymouth Voyager (ANN KAT to some because of the license plate). I have been the proud owner of White Lightening, as I have nicknamed it, for four years and it has stood the test of time. The van has been all over Canada and the United States including numerous trips to Florida and the East coast. The key aspects of any car are reliability and durability and the van has shown both these qualities many times over. Besides a little rust the van is in peak condition and can still perform at top speeds which I found out with a recent speeding ticket. It has never been in an accident and has had only minor repairs in the decade that my family has owned it. At the time of purchase it was a masterful creation with many of the gadgets that don’t even come standard in today’s cars. It includes foldable and removable seats, an onboard computer and tape and CD player. The heat and air-conditioning are still in fine working order and it gets my friends and I from point A to point B in style. Although it is fine running condition it does have a minor issue being that the trunk is no longer functional. The only other problem is the minor rust damage to the driver’s side sliding door and over the wheel well. While a new car may be the route for some I hope my ANN KAT chariot lasts me a lifetime.
