The Vanagon Westfalia still has it beat, hands down.

For $82k you are stuck with a HUGE vehicle that can't double time as
your commuter car. So, now I would end up with one more thing to
house, maintain, etc. Try getting that monster thing in your garage!

Blows me away that people are ok spending that kind of money on a
single use thing like that.

Jeesh, we can have the totally ultimate, restored, syncro, tdi westy
for under 30k! What's the other 50k give you? A toilet?

Just my two cents!
