Neat vans! Love the wheel covers.

My friend's usual vehicle is the GM pickup truck in the top photo, which I think explains why he is not comfortable driving his mini-truck even on the secondary highways around his place.

I would have gladly done it, but I'm already used to driving a little car with a 1.0.

For him, it's a relatively huge difference.
