But the van needs a groovy paint job with gospel verses written in Day-Glo orange and purple. When my dad nagged my big brother to get a haircut back in the late '60's, my brother's best argument was to point at the print of the "Last Supper" we had hanging in the kitchen and say "Dad, do you see any buzz cuts there?"

There is a concern that the smaller cars are not safe because there are so many large trucks and SUVs on the highway that upon impact would destroy the small car, regardless of how many airbags it has.</i> When you have only 2 feet of steel in front of you a concrete wall is deadly too, not so much with 8 feet of American steel. Big and small cars can be fuel efficient, but small cars just can't be made as safe as big cars can. I'll stick with big, safe and efficient... with the emphasis on safe. <i>For me, I want to see more people buy smaller, lighter cars so we don’t have those worries (being trampled by the Suburbans, etc), but it’s also like circumcision. I want more people to reject circumcision so that the boys who aren’t circumcised become the majority (disclosure: my son is not circumcised).</i> I also want more people buy smaller, lighter cars so that my wife and child will be even safer in her truck. Thank you to all of those people buying smart cars for making the road safer for them. I'm with you on circumcision by the way, but we certainly don't want the government to levy heavy taxes on those who chose to circumcise, right? Jay, VW van is dead on! Viona,
