My 90 GL with folding bed, fancy stereo, and killer homemade roof racks for
the water-ridin' toys is the second best(read favorite) vehicle I've ever
owned.  The first most favorite vehicle was a really cherry 1963 356B
Porsche coupe that eventually inherited a super 90 engine.  The Vanagon
gets me to work, hasn't broken down but a few times, sleeps like my bed at
home, and gets me to the golf course and the rivers and lakes I wish to
paddle.  My 15 year old son thinks it's geeky and would rather walk home
from school than get picked up in it.

Having bestowed all this positive karma on it(son notwithstanding), maybe
it will run for another 190k.
