I have brought it up a few clicks past 85-but if you wanna drive that fast I
am afraid the vanagon is not powerful enough top sustain those speeds
safely-I mean without messing up a perfectly good engine. And I can't
remember the last time I saw a vanagon with under 100,000 - mine has 213,000
clicks and its still the best running vehicle I have owned in a long time
because I drive it like a vanagon and not a musclecar.
