No mini van for sale here... but....
our 1996 Chrysler Town & Country definitely fits 4'x8' sheets on the floor,
and longer than 10' planks all the way up between the seats... and would
beat my roadster (in the in progress state its in) in a race off the line
anyday. I fully intend to put a nice big block hemi in it and make the
thing rearwheel drive and manual once the original engine blows :-).
