ehh no biggy, I wasn't trying to prove anyone wrong, but instead on debating about it I figured why not go to the source.

That's also the best way to stop a rumor about someone ... go to the source.

Take a peek under late model Vettes and Astrovans. Some Vettes and all the Astrovans I've seen have fiberglass springs.

My younger brother's Astrovan has over 150K miles on his and two years ago he was hauling 3/4 ton of melons 200 miles to sell them here about 3 times a week and with no place else to store them, they stayed in the van until sold or spoiled.

Thanks for sharing history. Those racers are more impressive than today's truck series.
