I towed you so,,,,,,

Cool little video. What's with all those Dodge Omnis/024s? I love those things.

Don't like to see a ladder used in that fashion though...

Man, that must have sucked. What idiot finance guy let her drive off the lot without insurance?

Bought my A100 Sportsman in '81. In '82 I HAD to get the $6,000 Dodge 024. Put $2500 down w/ 20% interest for 4 years. My father should have beat some some sense into me, but instead he co-signed. LOVED the car, hated the payments after I went back to school. Worked my ass off, sold the A100 and by '84 the sob was paid off. Traded it in on a new shinny red '90 E250 w/ a 300 inch 6/C6 and dual tanks.

Isn't funny how people have no idea as to why anyone can possibly want to own or drive a van, yet they ALWAYS call you whenever they need one. Then they're awe struck at how handy they are.

BTW - Instead of using scaffolding, we used to stand on top of the glass van to reglaze to countless factory steel sash windows. My father would use his van as a ladder boaster when he had to get up on a tall roof.

In other words, your video brought back a lot of memories.

Havn't seen a Vega in years.

Saw a Pinto today driving down the street today in the 12 degree weather.
About lost the 8' x 9' plate...

Donivan seems to have Mopars on the brain....what's next, an A100? Actually, a guy here in Ottawa used to race an Omni, it was fast...faster than a couple of 340 cars around. He had it all souped up.

Nice to see the old van being used!

Don how many miles does your van have on it?

That seems to work out to a little more than 9000 miles a year, which is typical for a car, but I would venture to say the donivan65 van has had more adventure than most vehicles on the planet.

those little omnis were work horses, after i decited to put a bullet in my 83 chevy c10- i fell victum to the wonderfully designed gasoline converted deisel engine, id haul scrap to R.I. with my omni, i named it omlet- kinda pokeing fun at the name of the car.

So, should we have a towing thread???

A little something on those hard working Omnis:

back in the late 80s i worked landscapeing, just my friend Jim and I, he had one of those rampage pickups,(omni 024 style) he would load a jd rideing tractor in the bed, barely fit, then add the ramps 10-15 gallons of gas, 2 weed wackers and a push mower, and a large cooler. it hauled the two of us all over town, and that was just the lawn mowing part .he also pulled a trailer loaded to the hilt for big jobs. i believe it had the 2.2 it was an automatic too! i have a lot of respect for those little trucks. id like to see what a glh engine in one of those could do!

What kind of hitch do you have?
