Subject: Vanagon as Daily Driver

My commute is 60 miles each way - 120 miles per day.  About once or twice a
week I drive my 87 Vanagon to work; I wish I could drive it every day but
fuel prices and 20mpg make this prohibitive.  I am fixing up our 82 Vanagon
Diesel for every day commuting this winter.  Right now it's getting the
o-rings in the injector pump replaced, and getting a new heater cable.  Also
we're hooking up the fog lights and my family thinks I ought to put a CD
player in it.  I love driving the Vanagons in commute traffic because I can
see; in my small car I feel overwhelmed by the big trucks and big SUVs.  I
figure I might have a better chance of survival in my vans.  BTW, my Diesel
is from Pennsylvania by way of Maine; made it all the way to California with
its PO.

Donna, two Vanagons  (my Diesel needs a name!)
