This one had SS R on the back end of it so I would guess maybe it has those fun things

They're all SS R. They initially came with the 5.3 (2003 - 2004). Then enough "feedback" came back about putting that engine in a heavier vehicle, so for 2005 GM answered with the LS2 and Tremec as an option.
Otherwise there really wasn't huge differences through the product run other than the engine/trans choices.

How this has survived in the Midwest I have no idea
It's amazing how many of those are alive where I'm at. Although not near as clean. Most of em are rotted terribly.
Subtly fighting back the urge to be the semi progressive college town snob and say ewww why there, but what brings you out this way?
I was driving home from Chicago and north platte unfortunately is where we ended up having to stop.
Necessity can be a mf sometimes lol. Next time stop a couple hours sooner if you can. They basically have resorts and 4 star restaurants built down by the big road here these days.
Look at this weeb hand drying his Murano
I have seen two of these in two days which I find insane.

It was 7am and my kids were put up until then. There’s nothing really after north platte either (going west).
Back when I lived in Alaska, I think it was 1999-2000, there were a couple quick Subarus that were rolling around Fairbanks that I would get a kick out of. My girlfriend at the time had a mint gen 1 lightning and I would take it out occasionally looking for trouble. I remember an older XT that was red and must have been turned up to the max for the time. It had a manual transmission and you could see it pitching and rolling on its stock suspension as the guy would row through the gears. It was probably a low 13 second car. Another one that was quick but a little less so was an SVX. Always seemed so exotic for the time, was probably from living in Alaska but I still wouldn’t mind having one just to learn more about them and beat on it.
They're goofy but cool. You can make those H6s sounds really nice, but the more modern version from a B9 Tribeca seems to be the way to go. I don't think you can turn the old ones up too much.
A buddy of mine bought an SVX in college because he needed a car to drive while fixing the 2j swapped MK3 supra he wrecked. I didn't get to know the SVX too well because he got a little drunk one night and managed to roll it. I heard he just abandoned the car and never got in any trouble for the incident.
Even the Astros are fading out and those are way fewer and far in between. That's a rare beast these days.
I had one when I was 17-19 and ended up giving it away when I could no longer keep the rear bumper on due to the rear 1/4’s rotting off so far up I was out of stuff to zip tie it to
Damn, an Aerostar and it looks like it has the electronic AWD badge on it too making it even more of a gem.
I did terrible things to my parents aerostar. Literally jumping terraces in fields. That thing was an absolute tank.
They got some shit right on those, they were a 3-link suspension not leafs and more importantly some came with 8.8s. I'd have killed for an 8.5.....
