Super Eco-Modded Dodge Caravan... Even a special surprise...
 

As a kid, one of my favorite toy cars was a model Dodge Caravan I had. My little brother had one just like mine but it was a Plymouth Voyager. Mine got smashed up and thrown out. I eventually got my little brothers (he didn't want it any longer) even though it was missing quite a few parts (I knew I could find a use for it someday). Not too long ago I found several of them online for sale. I bought a Caravan and a Voyager to keep as models, and a spare Caravan to experiment with...

Full upper and lower grille blocks,
Pizza pan style hubcaps,
Shaved rear door handles,

It started out with this grille, which I chose for the easier-to-ecomod upper grille,

But I swapped a bumper like this one on because it is a lot more flush with more structure.

Dad had the idea to take it a step further... and make it an electric hybrid!!! LOL :D

Battery in the back seat. How very... German.

That's very cute. Have you thought about using them as mod testbeds? You could set up a mythbusters style mini windtunnel! It would be awesome! You could test wheel skirts and angles on kammbacks and boat tail shapes and---

Since you have a Taurus it wouldn't be of immediate use to you (or to me as a Civic sedan owner), but it would be BADASS...and if this is fun to you I think that would also be fun :).
