[NSRCA-discussion] Cars

Nah, you get used to it. I tried to avoid the MiniVan thing for a while but it's really just better to succumb to it. I love my Caravan. The Stow-N-Go is the bomb. You can haul 8 people or flip the seats into the floor (takes about 3 minutes) and pack in 8 foot-long sheets of plywood. It gets great mileage too. I'm sure the Expedition is a little painful in that area. Of course the Expedition rates a little higher as far as "cool factor" goes but my Caravan has no problem hauling my jet-boat so that kinda makes up for it.

  That's a hard tradeoff.  I just hope my Expedition never needs replacing.  I can't afford it since the price has almost doubled since I got mine.

    FYI - You can fit:
    3 2-meter airplanes
    2 foamies
    3 adults
    2 transmitters
    1 flight box
    1 tool box
    1 case of fuel 
    1 10x10 canopy tent
    2 chairs
    2 suitcases
    1 cooler
    and 
    1 12-pack of Bass Ale 
    in a Grand Caravan with Stow-N-Go. AND you'll still get about 24 Mpg on the highway. Now for the bad part: you'll have to deal with the "Soccer mom" jokes from your flying buddies... <LOL>
