Caravan with a Japanese sw? Why not?! Most of those going are imports/mini
trucks. So, I'll be a little out of place with a stock height chevy from 78

My solution for head banging rattles? Turn up the Alpine..... Of course, you
can't hear the nice officer's sirens either (and if you leave it up too
loud, too long, you get new rattles!).
