a '98 van?


Around here, that's referred to as 'hardly broken in'. In a state where
the towns big enough to have a Burger King are 100 miles apart, it adds
up fast. Because of that most of the mileage is accumulated at 80 mph
with very little stop and go driving or idling in endless traffic jams.
A Boston van that never saw the other side of 128 and had 110,000 would
likely be ready for the crusher.


I'd say about 80% is highway miles. The rest accumulated around town.
