Y'know, that reckolecktion began to penetrate the fog sometime after I
posted that. No way the marketing types would've missed that anyway, eh? I
like the red-circle slash/mini-van thing- maybe ought to make that a
sticker.

There was a model out in the 70's of the Pinto station wagon that had
'mini-van' printed on the box- first use of the term that I'm personally
aware of (not that I've looked...).

Cya,
Robert
