It's a shame. There are plenty of "shells" that are complete garbage, why blow up one that basically just needs an engine....... plain stupid.

Astros are minivans, they are much smaller than a full size.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!

Mind you, there is nothing WRONG with minivans, I quite like Caravans, but an Astro IS a minivan, to me anyway.

The Astro model name had been used previously for the unrelated Chevrolet Astro 1 Concept car, first shown at the New York Auto Show of 1967.[1]
While the Astro was referred to as a minivan, it was sized between the Chevrolet Venture/Lumina APV unibody minivan and the full-size Chevy Van/Express. Similar to the Ford Aerostar, it utilized powertrain components common to GM's other light trucks, yet unlike the trucks the chassis was unibody in structure with a front sub-frame to support the engine and front suspension.
Due to the truck-based powertrain, the Astro and Safari could pull 5,500 lb (2,500 kg) with proper equipment. AWD models could tow up to 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) when properly equipped. This is opposed to front-wheel drive minivans; most of which are limited to a 3,500 pound towing capacity.[citation needed]


From http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Astro

So, a Astro is a MIDivan. . . . Lol

Anything less than a full size is, by definition, a mini.
