2006 Dodge Sprinter Van Road Test
Of course, I get all the glamorous vehicles to review. What's that, a dump truck to road test? Give it to that guy Crash! But seriously, I actually asked to test drive Daimler/Chrysler's Dodge Sprinter van, and for a very good reason. Many moons ago, back in the U.K., I was employed in the building trade. Much of my time was spent driving around London in my white work van, so I kind of have a soft spot for them. Now I've heard that they call the truckers in their big rigs "the kings of the road", so, with that in mind, I guess van drivers must be "the little princes". Although I doubt that my fellow road users would have called me that, especially when I was flying around town running late. Van drivers over there tend to have a similar reputation to that of taxi drivers worldwide. Actually that's not strictly true, at least taxi drivers occasionally wave to you as they cut in front of you.
