??  my 7-pass syncro will be at ~150k mi, still making runs back and
forth to the mountains.  there might be more vans at the junkyard to
pull from, but demand (and supply) for parts will remain high.  i'll
probably still have a stock engine.

10 years from now, i predict that the only vanagons still existing will
be
late model campers..a few dokas, and some specialty custom vans.    the
passenger vans will be long gone..  the aircooled vanagons will be gone.
i predict that 99% of those vanagons still remaining in 10 years, will
have engine conversions.  they wont be "daily drivers" anymore.. their
owners having sunk so much money into them they are afraid to drive them
down the street..

Most of the major vendors here on the list will have gone out of
business..
or expanded their horizons to deal with newer passenger car models..
Go Westy will be selling groud effect kits and cold air intakes for mk5
jettas and golfs...  and the like..
:<)

what are some of your predictions?
