I just picked up my brand-new (well, new to me) '85 Vanagon GL Westfalia
on Sunday.  During the 3-hour drive back to my apartment, I was much more
concerned about getting a moving violation for having my mirrors adjusted
improperly, since they're so loose they kept getting pushed out of
position by the wind while I was driving 65mph.

I usually piss off the hotrods by driving at most 5mph over the limit even
in my newish and peppy Accord, so I very much doubt I'll have to worry
about speeding tickets in my Vanagon.
