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 :-}

Mileage? well you have to sacrifice somethings...
