dont know..  last i heard from was 9pm sat night somewhere off of 81 north of
knoxville TN when he said tires were going flat every 15 miles or so and
belts were starting to seperate.. he had left from harrisburg PA sat morn and made
it to knoxville when he started having problems with the van..i am worried if
he is also having problems with the engine as he had broken a alternator belt
an hour earlier due to rusty pullys eating the belt up and overheated the van
alittle bit..  the coolant gauge stopped working also...have not heard from
him since..  he wont answer his cell, it just goes right to voicemail..i hope
nothing bad happened..   tomorrow i am going to call the TN state patrol and
see if there are any records of accidents or fatalities involving a vanagon sat
nite....i dont know where he could be.  his mom and friends havent heard from
him either, he was due back on birmingham on sunday eve..but hasnt showed up..
