>> Keep on driving that "hippie" van with an hippie way of thinking... or
put some love and money on it and make it a superb compact camper van ,your
choice. <<

Here in the NE the hippie way of thinking doesn't work anymore. As far as
regular daily driving I have not seen a beat hippy Vanagon in close to 5
years. They simply won't last very long here being neglected like that.

Now, the Philly Folk Fest, where people come from all over the country, is
another story. I can't believe the crap some people are driving. I can't
believe a Vanagon can be in that bad of shape and still be running. Sad
really.
