Hmm, one vehicle I've never owned is a van. Pretty cool though. Partied in a few back in the 70's though.😊

@geno really, I have loved all of the ones we've owned.

Years ago I had a travelling job which required a lot of room for hauling samples. In 1983 I bought a GMC Conversion Van which was fully loaded with four captains chairs, game table and rear sofa. Because of the miles I put on my vehicles I traded them every two years and in 1985 traded for another almost identical. Those vans were the most comfortable vehicles I ever owned for long distance driving until I bought my first SUV. Being retired now I no longer have to trade vehicles every two years so I trade about every six years now. Say what you want about all SUVs all looking alike and having no character but I will never go back to a car again because of the comfort factor.

@bob-jackman preach brother lol. We only own suv's and cuv's as they go a long way towards meeting all of our needs. We had trucks but my issue is I always lifted them. For me ( 6'2" ) all good. Wifey 5'2" not so much even with our motorized steps...
