I can complain about my mini lowered floor. Except for snow problems which I can avoid and other bottoming out times the lowered floor has worked. After reading this list I have come to appreciate my van more.
Ps I've noticed many list contributors are using large print. I do but only because since joining the list my computer will ONLY write large in mail. _____ From: Stacy Harim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 9:50 PM To: Merrill Burghardt Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] raised roof drawbacks I hate that I have a raised roof. I live near the beach and can't get it into a car wash therefore am dealing with rust. I've had to replace part of the exhaust. Living so close to the ocean makes it difficult with a vehichle you can't keep the salt washed off of it from the water. I dealt with it with my nova before I was in the chair not realizing the damage salt in the air from the water can do to a car. I am fortunate I got the van with over 100 thousand miles for free but can't keep it clean on the outside without the help to wash it. Not to mention how much other damage is occuring that I can't see.
