(Hey Guys, Sorry It took so long. I won't make excuses. Just that I was having a hard time translating my thoughts into words.)
You are a person who does work. You might be a contractor, a delivery person, or somebody else working Nine to five.
you need a veichle that will meet you halfway and be willing to work just as hard as you are. I'm looking
through the best of the best to find a van to help you. This first choice is called the Rennen Spatium.

Doing Nothing- Why are you talking about not using it for cargo? that's what these vans are made for! I hear you saying.
yes, they are made for heavy lifting, but more often than not, these are company viechles. The people they transport
are more important than the items it transports. The Interior, It's Cheap. It's pretty much all plastic, I get it, mister
billion dollar cars and private jets is complaining about the interior of a cheap car.
but it looks one of the most exciting from the outside, and that just doesn't carry into the interior.
Other than slight dissapointment, the interior does what is needed and nothing more. The suspension options where
also built on the cheap side, which makes the ride a bit uncomftorable, but it means that the van won't go into
low rider mode when you fill it up with your junk.
Loading Up Cargo. The Rennen Spatium as a great chassis base. It's a ladder chassis made of AHS steel, and it works
great for carrying all of your crap, and an all aluminum body keeps it lighter, meaning It won't at least drink like a
raging alchohaulic. While the economy's not amazing, the automatic transmission doesn't let it wonder all over the place.
You'll see slighty more than 20MPG whether your right food is made out of lead or not. Has a lot of room too. Like, a lot of room. I could live if one of
these vans was my office, which for most people, they are.
Strength? The Rennen Spatium will carry heavy cargo, but not without protest. It's 260 Horsepower is adequate, but it's performance
does falter when you load it up to the brim. But given that most of the engine's torque is avalible before 2500RPM, you won't
ever noitce unless you put a stone statue in the back. It's good for carrying a lot of stuff, It's good for carrying heavy stuff,
but when you want it to carry a lot of heavy stuff, It will fight you the entire way.

But how'd it fair with ownership costs? Odd enough, you have to register the Rennen Spatium as a muscle car, which makes the insurance.. Less than Optimal.
But It's got high safety and crash protection. An IHS representative has gone as far to tell me this van is "Pretty Safe" So insurance, coupled with the fuel consumption makes it cheaper to own than a regular Muscle car and even most regular cars for that matter.
The last word. It's great as a mobile office. Plumbers, electritians,
and exterminators will love it. But It's a bit too middle ground. Like a Toyota Tacoma, It doesn't want to be to soft for
for a first time bussiness owner, but It doesn't want to be strong enough for heavy duty construction or delivery jobs.
