    Hey SportVan312, nice van. I'm always glad to meet another Sportvan owner. How long have you had it? Does it actually have the original headliner in the back?!! And are you doing the old no door handles on the cargo doors as a theft-deterant?

    Glad you got to meet up with Don on his annual pilgrimage to Chicago.

    WOW! And here I thought we had the highest gas prices here in San Diego. I just paid $4.25. This is about the time the news says the US average is nearly $4.00 a gallon.

    And you manage to go to a place where it's higher... Good thing you've got the bike. And a rain suit.
