Dang it, Stan, you ought to know by now that I drive an '87
water-actually-cooled, water-actually-warmed-in-winter Westy!  Of course, I
should'a mentioned that I suppose . . .  My family used to have one of them
air-cooled monsters . . . a '62.  Drove it up Tehachapi Pass at 25 mph with 8
miles of cars behind us . . . burned up two sets of valves in two years . . .
pretty much worthless POS . . .  Funny how now that 21-window deluxe microbus
would be worth a small fortune . . .

Now, where's that asbestos underwear?
