Hi Karl,
    No one could have said it better.

> One other odd thing about the Vanagon design is that, if it speaks to you,
you will fall in love with it and no other vehicle will quite satisfy you
ever again.  Just like a beautiful but heartbreaking woman, you will lavish
your Vanagon with gifts, like water pumps and tranny mounts, and it will
repay you by leaving you high and dry, searching for another gift to please
her/it.  And you will simply obey, because you know that when she/it is
happy, you're getting the best you've ever had or ever will.
    Jon; if it feels right, go for it.  If not, run away.
