Thanks for all the replies and comments - even the funny ones. I drove the van today and liked it. There is not a scratch or any bit of rust on the van. Everything was functional. Acceleration was OK, but cornering was a bit more difficult than I expected - you really have to slow it down. I noticed too that is does not like speed bumps very well. Maybe new shocks will help. I'm in the San Francisco Bay area, so if anyone knows a good mechanic in the area, please let me know. Gregg |
