I think it is now hard wired into most peoples heads that the vanagon is
just slow. Even though few remember them,or ever saw one,it is the
slowness of the origional Vw buses where this must come form. Man has
evolved since that time, and it is just known that VW things are slow.
Knowledge that one is now born with.When I pullout form anintersection, I
dont get messages from other drivers.They just somehow know I am doing all
I can. Either that,or they just gave up justering.Dosent work. I have seen
that appoligic bumper sticker on diesels saying "Caution 48 horsepower at
work" , or how about the one that says" yes,the line begins here"
