Hi Matthew,
Before I moved to Sydney, Australia 10 years ago, I had either Chevy or GMC .75 ton vans with long wheel base. They are fantastic, mileage may suck but all your stuff fits INSIDE. I used them for 15 years before the move. If I moved back to the US the first thing I'd do is get a new one.
Cheers

Folks, I am in the market for a new car. My Tercel is terminally ill in that it will not be able to pass emissions in 2010, so I would like to buy a new car sometime between now and then. Any suggestions for a make and a model. It must be able to carry my gear, including boards, either within or by use of a rack. Reliability and longevity are critical, and I am thinking long term, and am cradle to grave type of person. Fuel economy and low maintenance are also factors. Any suggestions?
Honda fit, Toyota RAV 4, ??? What would be a good choice?
