Hey Scott - I "resemble" that remark.....I luv both my 84 GL & 84 Westy.
Some others here may rightfully disagree, but I find the 84's easier to
troubleshoot than my buddy's 87.  I might sell the GL someday, but I plan to
be buried in the Westy (hell, I've been living in it full-time for almost 9
years now anyway) ;-)

On my paycheck, I could never afford a later edition of Westy, much less any
Vanagon Westy as a replacement.
