  Since it's Friday....There are a LOT of people who just drive their
vanagons as minivans...and often they'd rather be in a Chrysler or a Honda,
but a vanagon is all they can afford...at least here in the Northwest that
seems to be the case...I see em all the time...beat up and unwashed....the
driver AND the van....grin...

   It seems like that won't be happening much longer as these vehicles get
more "trendy" and spendy..
