Mine too. She kept bugging me about wanting a vehicle big enough to sleep
in for camping (we're too old to sleep on the ground), so finally I did a
little research and found that a Vanagon was the only logical choice for
our needs. She had always secretly wanted one, but gave up on the idea
years ago as impractical. But with tool-handy me around, she thought it
would be OK  and talked me into it. July this year I went from near-total
ignorance of all things VW, to rabid Vanagon Cult member in about 2 weeks.
A week after that I bought our '90, and I've been pouring all my extra cash
into it ever since. I sit around at night looking at pictures of Vanagons
for sale on eBay and thesamba.com  even though I'm not in the market to buy
another one-- a practice she now calls "looking at Vanagon porn". She
frequently wonders out loud whether it was a good idea to let me have one.
All I can say is, "TOO LATE NOW! MUAHAHAHAHA!"
