Hi,
I am disabled and was thrilled to see that Braun makes a Rampvan out of the Scion xB. Mine is that great dark blue, whatever the name is. I don't have it remembered.
To have to get one of those big vans that open on the side, and just don't look too cool, I am thrilled -- never mind all the gas they eat. This has the ramp coming out the back. It had this horribble noise when starting, because of this pump thing to get the thing to kneel when the ramp comes out. Sounded like that grinding when you accidently <G> start your car when it is already running. The dealership put a muffler on it and now I am very happy with my new toy. Wouldn't want to let anyone guess how much they cost. But then again the price is $ 10 thousand less than those big ugly ones. When I push the button on that box and the hatch opens and a ramp comes out of it, you wanta see some heads turn. Just came back from shopping at Walmart's and lot's of people stopped in their tracks to stare. Most can't believe that box can do that....weeeee, I am happy
Tally ho,
Lois

I tried to pull up the banner ad running on the top for the rampvan and it would not pull up. I thought it was a great idea to use the scion for this purpose. The box shape has to help a lot. Good luck--and welcome to the family.
