Default OT: Need advice on T&C

We recently purchased a 2008 Town and Country and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good Forum like this for the T&C.

Also, does anyone know of a good Internet parts/accessory supplier like some of this Forum's sponsors. I Googled but the ones I came up with did not inspire confidence.

Yes, we still have our Pilot!

We looked at all of the mini van offerings.

We really liked the Honda in the same way we like the Pilot and liked the Accord but felt it was 'dated' both in look and in features.

The T&C had a lot of features that the others did not, looked great inside and our (we like the box look just like in the Pilot), drives well, and the price was amazing.

We paid (for the Limited with nearly all options including RES and NAV) several thousand under invoice less the cash back and we got 2k more for our trade than I was really expecting. The bottom line price was much less than the others would have been and we got a lot of features that they just did not have. I know there is a greater chance of needing repair but we got a bumper to bumper Chrysler ext. warr. that will cover it for as long as we have the van for $1000. Not bad, IMO.

I should say that the Honda van drives 'better' than the others in that it feels more like a car than a van. The T&C feels like a van not a car. Lots of power and OK handling but not amazing. The Pilot feels smaller (in the good way) than the others but since I have been driving it for 3 years you sort of get used to it and I may have a different opinion after driving the T&C more.

FYI, the NAV in the T&C is amazing; wonderful screen, great touch screen interface, and enough bells and whistles to keep a tech. geek happy for a long time. And, the Bluetooth interface is wonderful. You can have a conversation at 70MPH and the other party does not even know you are on a cell phone. Really great.

Now, if the T&C only had VTM-4!!!
