Subject:My 1991 Vanagon Carat is getting a new life

Volks,

Well, I'm happy to say that my 1991 Vanagon Carat has been spared any
disassembly.  The Green Car company (www.greencarco.com) in Kirkland
Washington is taking my Vanagon and giving it a Diesel engine that runs on
Bio-Diesel.  The caveat will be that it will run at 65MPH max because of the
automatic tranny.  But, can you imagine the mileage it will get in the
future???  The gas-engine current gets a good 18MPG for the type of driving I
do (a lot of congested highway).

So, I will be signing off of this list as I will be, sadly, Vanagon-less for
the foreseeable future.

Thanks for all the help, assistance, advice, good jokes, ideas and fun times!!
 I hope to see ya'll again!  I would definitely not feel right driving to a
Vanagon meet in my Toyota Corolla :-)

Safe Travels!
