The brakes in my Vanagon are nice and firm.  They're *much* firmer than
the ones in my Ford Econoline.  Those brakes kinda scared me...I could
push the pedal down to the mechanical stop with just my toe.  They'd hold,
but it felt like the power boost was trying to suck the pedal out from
under my foot.  Really hard to be smooth.
