'bout you? Guy >> Guy, You must be an astronaut, you have been to the moon and back! I have an '89 Dodge Caravan CV with a paltry 129,000 on it. Has worked well for me. Elizabeth has used an '88 Mazda 323 two door, a '93 Ford Escort wagon, and currently drives a '96 Mitsubishi Mirage two door. She has no trouble carrying piano gear in any of them. I carry organ repair gear, enough piano stuff to do anything short of a rebuild, and various junk in the van. Still have enough room to load a spinet organ through the side door or a grand action, whatever. I agree with Allan, a van takes longer to heat or cool and you get to sniff a heady aroma of chemical cocktails occasionally. Gas mileage runs 20 in town or out, uphill or down. The 2.5 four is like Susan's a little slow on the getgo. All in all, I have enjoyed the view, as Warren says. Regards, Dale Probst and Elizabeth Ward Registered Piano Technicians Ward & Probst, Inc.
