I might want to, but I wouldn't be able to afford it. ;)

What would I want to see different?  Two words:  "More power."  A
turbodiesel would do wonders for this van.  I'm not up to the cutting,
welding, and tweaking it would require to transplant one into mine,
though.

Oh, and for god's sake, more cogs.  A 5th gear would be great...or maybe a
two-speed final drive. ;)  'Course with a turbodiesel I probably wouldn't
need it...
