I've crossed Cadillac, Volvo, Mercedes, Lexus and all other types of
vehicle drivers, all kinds of truck drivers and even the Highway Patrol
but I never intend to cross a VW Van driver.
Nobody but a VW owner would ever know where the oil fill is.
I can just see me trying to rig my fishing line or set up my tent with a
giant Key-Back swinging from the waistband of my cutoffs.
Yes we can secure everything but even Banks get broken into.
