People mover/grocery hauler/mover - that's what I need (and have).

BTW, my TDI Beetle is a Mexican-made piece of crap, but don't worry, I won't
write them a nasty letter.  Plenty of people have already done that.  My
husband has banned me from more VWs (because of their Mexican-made pieces of
junk) so I have to make the Syncro last.  And I do think the Germans they
send over here are very confused.  The Mercedes and BMW Germans don't seem
as confused.
