Default The van helps you to not forget your tools

I mentioned this in another thread but thought I'd share it. Check out the Tool Link feature on this van. If you forget your tools the van tells you that all of your tools aren't loaded. 25 mpg and lots of cargo room. On board PC with wireless keyboard. Kinda fugly but I'm liking it.

I saw one yesterday but did not know who made it or what it was. It was a company van for the Power Company. I passed it and made a mental note to look it up. I am surprised it only get 25 mpg. I get about 20 with my SuperCrew but then I had to tweek it a little.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

I like those, but the height would make it difficult to park in downtown garages around here.

Now if it could tell me which tool, and where I left it, they'd have something there!

The Ford Van looks good but there doesn't look like enough room for advertising.
