I think you should find a different way to work that allows you to use the
freeway.

Do you have those fiberglass bumper on your van? They hang down pretty far
from what I have seen.

I never dragged the bumper, front or rear, on my 84 and we have quite a dip
in front of our house. Some would say, we have quite a dip living in our
house.
