Jim: There are other "fetish" drivers out there also. I, for example, have been driving full size Chevy vans for nearly 20 years to haul kids and now exclusively big a-- model planes. In that span of time I have owned two Chevy Beauvile G-10 vans. these are great cavernous beasts with over 11' of clear lenght inside. I built wing racks suspended from the ceiling which allows almost 12' clear for 1/2 scale glider wings. This van will haul, if needed, an incredible amount of gear. for example; eight 1/3 scale sailplannes plus two 1/3 scale towplanes, plus asorted smaller planes tucked around the corners. The present vehicle is a 1991 with only 169,000 miles on it. The last one went 250k. The bodies tend to last and since hey are a frame and coach build seem to be more servicable. I do get jibed about these older beater vans, but for me they fit the bill perfectly, and have all the ammenities one could ask for, air, cruise and captains chair seats for long cruises. I can cruise effortlessly nonstop to Florida from PA at 75 mph no sweat. speed limit dependent :-}
