No politics here....while voting today I waw a grey Vanagon GL that had the logo "SPORT" emblazened near the bottom of both front doors.� Was this some limited edition model of the Vanagon, or just a sticker the owner threw on?� It didn't seem to have any other special features.� This was in Cincinnati Ohio. � Jake --- On Tue, 11/4/08, Tony Collins <tonycollin@GMAIL.COM> wrote: From: Tony Collins <tonycollin@GMAIL.COM> Subject: Re: Crowded at the polls today To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Tuesday, November 4, 2008, 9:37 AM I thought that booth felt a little cramped....... :) But yes, I did my duty first thing this morning.
