Howdy All,

I know that this has no Vanagon content, but our VWs are cousins of all
Porsches, especially the early models. For that reason we should show
respect. Let this be a reminder to always drive carefully. If you are ever
stuck on train tracks, try to get off, but don�t waste too much time. If you
are good and stuck, get the heck out of your vehicle and RUN at a 45 degree
angle from the tracks, toward the train. This will be your best strategy to
avoid injury from flying debris or a derailing train.

If you love cars, especially Porsches, the following link will make you
very, very sad. Just happened over the weekend. Follow the thread until you
get to the photos. After the photos, there is a further link to more
pictures of the carnage.
