Thanks for the reminder, Joel.

I was trying to think of what costs were going to go up the most on
what items. I had forgotten about tires, which my 90 will need fairly
soon.

Speaking of tires, ever wonder how many of those wonderful old MX
tires are tucked away in the snouts of Vanagons, just waiting to make
a full set for somebody? Mine has exactly two miles of wear on it
after all these years.
