Finally!

Chris and I got picked up the van around noon, took a tour of the plant that does the conversions and then headed for some lunch and groceries for the road. The VMI plant is pretty amazing, they convert 46 minivans and 6 full size vans a week on average. They have a full assembly line that they strip them down, install the lowered floors, cut out the original floors, then put them all back together again. It is like a production line chop shop. Here is their site: http://www.vantagemobility.com/minivan.asp

We are going to hang out here until rush hour traffic dies down and visit with family for a little while then head out west. Everything went well and I didn't even have to choke anyone.
