A Canadian friend of mine used to refer to my Vanagon as "the car of choice
of the middle eastern terrorist."  Seems that she saw remnants of several on
CBC television news pretty frequently used a car/suicide bombs.  Guess you
can pack a lot of explosives in them.

Of course, here in the US our international news doesn't show quite as
much...
