Ahem,
Just in case anybody gets any ideas, yes, there are a
lot of Vanagons and Westies here in Portland.  There
are even junk yards with 'em and some good repair
shops.  BUT...it rains ALL the time.  And there's no
culture.  And our police chief is from L.A.  And
losers are still cutting down all the trees.  You
might be able to get by the James G. Blain Society
guard stationed at the border if you're driving a nice
Westy, but believe me, you wouldn't be happy living
here, believe me.  Really, it's true.  Really.

Scott's right though, if you're looking for a rust
free (no salt on the roads, mild winters) vanagon for
EXPORT into one of the other 49 states, there are many
to be had.  You can search the oregonian's classified
at http://www.oregonlive.com/
