Just want to say a heartfelt "thanks" to all who have responded and
continue to do so, and how surprised and thrilled I am to have received so
many interesting pieces of information.  What an amazing resource this list
creation is indeed.
Please do not take my open-minded consideration of an EV as disloyalty to
the Vanagon following.  Some things just don't leave you.

Your humble servant,
Horace Kimbrell Sawyer
