Subject:Opinion on Long Trip w/young driver to Florida from Texas: Vanagons Gone Wild.
From:chris and/or ruth

I would like to know why a 20 year old doesn't have a vehicle already?  Maybe he does and all 6 can't fit in it?  Out of the other 5, can't anyone use their own POS minivan? 

I deleted my paragraph about responsibility, Liability and car ownership until I know more. Yea, I sound like a grouchy ol' man now...

90 Mv -- Perfect Spring Break vehicle...Wish I had it 20 years ago!

---------------------------------------------------------
Ok, Happy Frydaye.� My 91GL is in darn good shape.� I have never driven it
more than 300 miles at a time and my kid(20 yr old) wants to take it to
Florida from Texas for Spring Break with five other friends.. All fuel
lines, tires and belts are new.� Got back up belts, oil cooler seal, plugs,
anti-freeze, fire extinguisher and brand new spare.
Aside from the dumb-ass quotient and the 'I'm on Spring Break and gotta
vomit' issue, does anyone have an opinion? They don't want to spend $$ to
rent a vehicle and I will have it detailed and oil changed when they return,
but I am worried of mechanical issues that would leave my van stuck in FL.
I've told him NO, but re-thinking it.� Would like to have Rescue squad
contacts and good shops in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida noted just in
case.
He's driven the van about town alot and never a problem.
I would go with him, but all those young uns would drag me down. heheheh
Opinions welcomed. Thanks.
