If you're going to gripe about lead, remember that the iron, steel and aluminum in all cars also mined, shipped and assembled and all leave a big dirty crater behind like all modern electronic and mechanical devices. I think the last clean machine on earth may be the old crank phonograph. If I remember accurately, the question posed concerned the best vehicle to transport a phonograph--not the greenest vehicle, nor the cheapest vehicle. For my two cents, I think that any small wagon with fold down rear seats will handle a floor model Edison or Victrola. (But not a mini wagon) If you plan on carrying multiple phonos, then a van is certainly going to work better. I have an Audi A4 wagon and it handled a large Victor floor model Radio-phono easily. 30 miles per gallon on the road is enough for me at this time. Now, for those looking for the most ecologically sound vehicle, I think the most appropriate would be a wind up. I'm still waiting for GE, as the descendant of the Edison Company, to come out with one. Art Heller _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
