Thanks for the well wishes Acdii and Telemaster! Sounds like a good trip Telemaster. I wish you and your new lover the best of luck with your long distance relationship. I think with everything going on it will be a help and not an hindrance. The domestic brands here have adopted the European style of vans like yours and I think its an improvement. I had to replace my old 2001 Acura MDX a few weeks ago. I went with a 2013 Ford Escape a lot smaller but I can still haul airplanes. The peppy little 1.6 liter 4 cylinder with Turbo is a lot more efficient then the old 3.5 V6 on fuel but still a joy to drive. The color is Ginger Ale Metallic the wife calls it pickle juice.
