As much as i like to think my vanagon <DIV></DIV>>will <DIV></DIV>>still be alive by then, im sure life changes, and time, wear & elements <DIV></DIV>>will <DIV></DIV>>have taken its toll (or someone will have probably totalled it by then) <DIV></DIV>>so i <DIV></DIV>>look to the future... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I, for one would not drive one of those new microbus minivans (those <DIV></DIV>>things <DIV></DIV>>are supposed to be no bigger than a Nissan Quest...i might as well buy a <DIV></DIV>>Nissan <DIV></DIV>>Quest, thell be cheaper).. What else is as big as the current vw van? <DIV></DIV>>nothing really.. didnt GMC can the safari/astro too? that was the only <DIV></DIV>>competition the EV had.. <DIV></DIV>>anyway.. i digress.. maybe the daimler-chrysler Sprinters will be cheap <DIV></DIV>>enough to own by then.. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>so what about you? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>chris <DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr> <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENUS/2740??PS=">Our best dial-up offer is back.
