Sounds like me when I first got my van!  Well upon first inspection I kinda
doubted
that the pillars were really as "strong" as VW probably led us to believe!  Not
being anyone's
chump I borrowed an acquaintance of mine's van and drove it to a local
construction site.
Well, the experiment began as I directed the crew to lower an HVAC system on to
the
top of said bus.  Much to my dismay the damn thing folded like like a house 'o
cards.

Engineers, n e v er trust 'em.
