I drove up in a rental prior to the '98 Hillclimb, once during the week for a practice day and again on race day. Nice enough drive but my bride does not like being on the outside of those turns.

Need a stack of highroofs for your fleet of vans?

Not mine. These are in Virginia. Ad says they fit Chevy Express or Dodge but I'd want more details. Good deal, though.
