Cargo vans are hard to beat - and don't ever get stolen or "come loose" for
any reason like our trailers tend to. The only thing to add if you go the
minivan route is to put a good metal shield between you and the cargo space
- I've seen some pretty grizzly episodes here in DFW on guys that removed
theirs or didn't add one to minivan.
Rule number one - If your hauling a lot of crap - don't put yourself between
it and the windshield!

Subject: [Shop-talk] Better construction vehicles?
I've been thinking about getting a better vehicle for my side construction
business. The Impreza does great except for the plywood sheets :-)
A pickup truck isn't weathertight and rides like a truck, and more often
than
not I'll have things in there that don't want to be bounced around.
I've been thinking about a mini-van. A few people have told me theirs will
haul 4x8 sheets. I'm assuming if it can haul 7 people it'll be ok with bags
of
mortar, etc. Any thoughts?
thanks,
