Subject:      Eurovan Catalytic Converter (fwd)

I thought pretty much all passenger vehicles have the cat. under the
passenger compartment.  I know all my parents' cars do and we don't have
to run the a/c constantly.

I think I know the person you're referring to -- saw the page and he
seems to be mostly full of crap.
