It's funny how this list is still doing after some wile... yea, sadly a lot
of bashing! This bashing is not helping anyone! People are different and
their need also. Like i said in another post, there is different option and
it's good for everyone. Me i don't realy care. I ride a Subi and it's fine
and fun. I also tried Diesel van and they are fine also if it suit your
driving style. Stock engine also are fine if in good shape.

Keep on the bashing...  it will help the community! It's funny, we had those
same bashing among our small group of 14 vans some night... with a few
beers. I understood something! Some will never change their mind. Period!

I see a few guys here that are preaching for their stuff, i think it's bit
to much. I wrote a lot about Subi so people could understand that option,
but i still believe in the stock engine and other option.

I spent the last few years helping folks with stock engine... and i will
still do so as long as i can. I would also like for fun to install a Diesel
engine.

Anyway, i should go back on the beach instead of reading that stuff. Shit,
i'm ON the beach now... he he he.
