Make something that fits your needs

I bought a rolled over cargo van with 3,000 miles, no chassis damage, in 1981, cut it off behind the doors, added a piece of another van to get five seats total, still had room for an 8 foot flat bed. It is a dump truck, tow truck and very comfortable five seater, with plush Audi seats. It does not save me money by getting good fuel mileage, but by doing many jobs that don't cost me money. It actually gets 22 miles per gallon - that is 10 around town plus 12 on the highway. I drive it about 1,000 miles a year.

Don't know if you guys would consider my 1984 RX-7 as eco-friendly. It got about 20 mpg with the rotary engine, now has more than twice the horsepower and gets 28 mpg with the Skyline turbomotor.
