<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
