    Thanx Turboswede, but I'm driving from Albany, NY to Flint Michigan on my wife's birthday.

    If I told her I was driving to Oregon ......

    so you're sending her to a day-spa to redeem yourself while visiting one of Michigans finest cities?

There are many things in life we can't choose. We can't, for NY escorts example, choose the weather. We can't control the economy.We can't choose whether or not we are NY asian escort born with a big nose or blue eyes or a lot hair. We can't even choose how people respond to us. But we NY asian escorts can choose where we spend eternity.

    Place hear in VT sells those little trucks as "off-road" only. Too bad too, cause I like small trucks. Miss my Rabbit p-up.

    I've been trying to dig up these photos for a while, and I finally found them. Not really applicable for autocrossing or anything, but this company converts F-450's into FWD so you can roll your bikes (or classic Mini?) into the lowered bed:

    At work we have a few wheel chair vans that started out as 4WD diesel Ford E 350 vans. But the rear axle was removed to drop the rear floor, making it a FWD. Basically it is just the front half of the van with a fiberglass body added to the back.

    Maybe the conversion wasn't done properly, but they are junk. Never mind the fact they ride like lumber wagons, they are just plain terrible. A computer system had to be installed to limit power because drivers would tromp on the throttle, and rip the CV joints out of them. So now they are gutless as hell, but somehow still have terrible torque steer. I hear that the company that made them went out of business after being sued by the City of Toronto. They bought a whole fleet of them, and had nothing but problems as well.
