Yeah, I was just looking at that on craigslist. Is that a shaggy dog story
or what! Backfire? Oil burning? Then the Vanagon caught on fire from it?
I've never seen any ONE of those things happen, much less all three in quick
succession. I'm thinking fuel lines, myself. Silly, I know, 'cause THOSE
never fail.
