Least Heat Moon hit the road with a 1966 van (16 years
old...with a bad water pump) in "Blue Highways"...and
what is important (I'd assume) is the journey....not
the tricked-out Syncro Westy. These discussions could
go on forever....in the meantime you could just pack
up...get out there... experience all the magic of
self-contained travel...and worry about the memories
you'll carry with you....as opposed to the inevitable
breakdowns you'll experience as a Waterleaker owner.

My personal experience (vast) with driving all over
the US in a VW Van has been that the most memorable
experiences, adventures...and lasting
friendships...have resulted from breaking down along
the way.

Just get on with it....save the dough... take friends
you'll meet along the way out for dinner or ice
cream... and relay your best stories to us...
hastening other listees to suck up and depart onto the
Blue Highways of their dreams.....
