One man, two females. And they've ganged up. This is going to require
more brainpower than the average male employs in such situations. Don't
look to us for help. By driving Vanagons we have demonstrated a deficit
in that department.

With that warning, all I can offer is that were it me, and Mrs Squirrel
and my 16 year old daughter, Nocturna the Bat Girl, were behaving that
way, I'd ask them to either help solve whatever problem is being caused
by having two vans, or I'd point them to the eBay listing and tell 'em
to bid on it with their own darn money.

At least now you know what probably will not work.
