Fidalgoman,
Thanks for the reply! I would LOVE to have her drive my Passat TDI for the "Moms Taxi" but she has mobility issues from back surgery.
The height of the van, automatic transmission, & 7 passenger size is all i have to work with at the moment. I am not aware of any other options to accomplish these needs. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe some sort of a diesel engine swap and run it on Veggie oil? Or buy a full size Econoline with a Diesel?
NNNNaaaaahhhhhh she'd never go for that!!
