New to us: 2019 Odyssey elite. Wife wanted a minivan for utilitarian reasons and I'll never argue with that. I actually quite like it. It is very well thought out.

The color was a happy coincidence.

If you've got kids, I don't think you could find a more useful vehicle than a minivan.

The color looks good.

We have this same car but in Honda grey. A 2019 Oddyssey Elite. We've been generally pleased with it.

That's the side lot. I'm on 10 acres.

I know it has over 100K miles, that is how MouthBQ rolls (literally).

It looks great, good history and I like things like the window sticker that give you an idea about the former owner.

Those minivans have come a long way. My parents had a 1997 Odyssey and it was a lot smaller and cruder than the newer ones. Probably one of the best choices for hauling offspring.

That smoker looks like it needs some love.

Take your minivan to HEB and let us know how the cook goes.

We've had an Odyssey from each of the first 3 generations. Fantastic family haulers and very comfortable on long trips.

Yep. It gets the occasional drive when I want to rest the Fit, and boat towing duties when I take the boat out, and is my camping trip ride. I've got all the stuff to do the clutch, upgrade the torsion bars to higher spring rate ones, and some other stuff, maybe this fall. It's about 20K from getting its next timing belt, and I might take that opportunity to replace the water and oil pump, but to be honest I sort of trust the 25 year old factory Japanese bearings more than what is on any replacement part I might find now.
