It's Hans and Gunter.

They took the defeat of the 3 Reich very seriously and they're going to make
us pay.

I have an elaborate mythology built up on these two guys in case anyone's
interested.

Subject: Front Heater Core Fun!!!

Anyone who has ever done a front heater core replacement on a Vanagon knows
what I am talking about.  There are safes that are easier, and take less
time to crack.  There are parts of the wheel and suspension that have less
securing screws.  My question (after fighting the good fight yesterday and
putting a new core in, in about 4 hours) is why?  Why does this job have to
be such a big pain in the butt?  Why do you have to take the whole dash out,
and drop the steering colum, and remove the grille because there are two
other screws on the outside of the van that are holding the air box in, etc,
etc?  I mean they could have put a small door right where the lines come out
that is held on by a couple of screws and be able to change the core and
clean out the heater box in only a few mintues.  Instead you spend four
hours thinking up worse tortures that you could inflict on the people who
designed this convoluted mess, and finally come to the conclusion that the
worst thing you could possibly do to them is kidnap them from Germany, bring
them to your house, and force them at the point of a gun to do the front
heater core replacement, over and over...

Thanks for listening to my venting.  It's Friday!
