dear questioning vanagon owners
i am reminded often of manning the phones at my brothers carlot
phone rings ... hello-- our car lot --
caller: hi -- i have a 76 toyota -- whats it worth --
me: er ... what sort of shape is it in--
caller: great only once there was this time when it got banged in a parking
lot--
me: oh yes-- a fender scratch .. those usually come out with a good polish
--what fender or was it a door
caller:  oh it wasnt the door or fender-- it was the hood-- one of those big
tire 4 x 4 trucks -- backed up over the hood...
i guess they couldnt see i was there -- i had just started and the blue
smoke from the engine was blinding the other drivers --
so how much do you think i should ask for it --

and then everyone jumps all over scott for wanting to know details about the
problem or actually the engine experiencing the problem --
i stopped at a VW place in the early part of this year -- just off burnside
douglas intersection in victoria bc...
i was telling him about a subaru installation i had seen and he said he
would nto work on them --
not cause he was against subaru -- indee dhe liked them --
but because it was no longer a VW ... and once the installation was done it
changed everything VW to unknown ---

so maybe some details about what sort of van  power one has is of
signifcance --
as well as location because sea level iair intake is different than mountian
hieght --who knew --
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
