    I am not interested in a luxury vehicle, but this minivan has some interesting features, like how the table pops up to allow four people to eat together.

    Simplification Rule #11: Build a Home Environment from USB Devices to Meet 80% of Your Needs, Powered by a 72Ah Portable Power Bank I am extremely impressed by 12V and USB products.
