I talked to a friend of mine yesterday and he is threatening to make my
neighborhood a separate township.  VanagonVille.  I live in northern
Michigan in a community of maybe 30,000 and between my neighbor and I we
have 7.  We are in a resort area and I see them quite often.  I know of
probably 6 others that I haven't met the owners yet.  Yes, we all wave
(sometimes even the EV's) at each other.  Of the 15 or so locally, at least
4 are Syncro's and  5 are Westy's.  One of mine is both :-).   The nearest
dealership is 75 miles away.
