You're right. I own a 71 aircooled bus. Two or three survey takes used
"other" to fill in "aircooled," and the info is being tallied. Others
wrote in Subies and other alternatives, too. That's why I added the
"other" field -- to allow for what I hadn't thought of.

No disrespect to aircooled Vanagon owners was intended. I just didn't
think of it.
