    Minivans for DIY repair folk? Or stick with Subs?

    Like others, I have owned two Dodge minivans. I bought the first one from a neighbor as a temporary kid hauler. As I owned it and worked on it (I do virtually everything to my cars), it completely changed my perception of Chrysler products... so much that I replaced it with a new one. We...
