In Response To: experience with a full size van? (jim)

Hi Jim,

I have a 1982 one ton Chevy 12 passenger van with 17 inch tires!!!! It sits almost as high as one of those monster truck thingy's!! I made my own rack for it and will now have to add 3 or 4 more.

I wouldn't trade it fro the world!!

A couple of years ago I bought a new car and stopped driving the van. BIG MISTAKE!! The car is worth too much money to abuse with the loading and unloading of kayaks. It takes me about 20 minutes to load my kayak onto the car where it only took about 2 minutes to load the van. When on trips I can sleep in the van but its kind of impractical in the car.

Consequently, I am redoing the van and dumping the car A.S.A.P.

Do you know anyone looking for a 1996 Stratus with very low mileage??

Ian
