I had that exact van, in blue. Traveled the lower south in it for research. Futon. Hot plate. Cooler. Instant "fellowship" housing!

From my neighborhood I can see 4000-5000ft mountains 12 miles away. And those are the small ones. Palomar, San Jacinto, and the like. For me, the Civic is enough. But other people sometimes have other ideas. My wife was one of those "other people" on this choice. It was cool to pack-up with camping gear. I'm looking for an aero option on the roof rack for next summer's trips.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
