LOL!! You tell 'em Ken.

People, lay off the man. How could anyone on this list reasonably believe those scoops are going to do anything whatsover to affect performance?

We are talking about VANAGONS, not the turbo Porsche in the carport under the car cover. Those of you who regularly drive your vans in excess of 130 mph might notice a SLIGHT difference with these scoops, is what I think. And then you would wake up . . .

: )

As for me, well 130 miles per is just a wee bit fast for this big white box with wheels on it. At speeds fast enough for the scoop to make ANY *performance* difference, I bet it would blow the windshield right through the passenger compartment and out the back!

HK sitting in amazement sorta of an early Friday . . .
