for my gr. 10 auto class i have (im in gr.12), we have been assigned a project.

pick a vehicle, find all the information you can about it (size, weight, vehicle type, gas mileage, hp, tq/lbs... etc) and make a brochure, or a poster or book... etc...
i figured, well i have 9490573 pics of my old van, and i guess i could still use all the stock specs... and i can find any thing i need to know at a bunch of different websites, when i only need one...
And** I have all my good friends ;) and fellow vanners here to give me ideas :) hehehe... so why not use my old van for the project :p

i forget when the due date is, but i can check it later... any one got some ideas? i have your basic tools, computer, printer, and paper. so we cant get too technical. the teacher wants atleast 2 pics minimum. and we need 2 paragraphs on why we chose our vehicles.

IMHO, i dont think thats much work at all, and its probably Easy marks, but all i have to do is figure out how im gonna set it all up, in a book or brocure thing or poster, i dont really know. i dont want to do a poster, but i dont really have the stuff to make a book, unless i hack it up with a stapler or somethin...

so any one got any ideas?? :)

you picked this vehicle, because it is the most versatile, most robust, most customizable, cheapest to operate vehicle on the road. It gets 19mpg combined average and has never let you down. It can haul around all your stuff, it can haul around all your buddies. This vehicle can do it all!
