I love to hear from Matthew Pollard and the fellow that owns Road Cow, Britt
Grannis.
They all tell me that you can't swing a dead cat in the  Northwest without
hitting a VW Van or Vanagon.
I've been freezing all my dead cats with the hopes that I'll be able to make
a road trip to the Great Northwest and utilize my inventory of dead cats.
Now that I hear about all the Vans, uses and Vanagons in Corvallis, I'll
definitely route thru area and swing a few your way.
OH! By the way ............. frozen dead cats make dents so remember to duck
if you see me and a dead cat coming at you.

one of the highest Vanagons/Westfalias per capita in the United States (only
50,000 people).  Heck, there are 6 Vanagons within a single block radius of
my house (I own only one of those), 3 being Westys.  Those numbers would be
7 and 4 if my Westy weren't parked in Portland.
