Sorry for my earlier question/reply.  I'm using the digest mode and didn't
get that far down the list.

I wouldn't want to drive either of those vehicles in the snow.  They are a
whole world of different from an automatic Vanagon.  I had a hot Nova with a
350/TH350 combo that was a true bitch in the snow because the damn thing
wanted to go 20mph at idle!  Lord help you if you touched the gas!
