Think ahead, Michael, and chill.

Your vanagon and mine might very well be running on alternative
propulsion ten years from now. What's any different in this than a
post contemplating the change from a gas engine to a clean diesel
engine that was not imaginable in 1984?

What rules have been ignored? What flaming do you wish for?

Suck it up yourself. I myself am interested in keeping ahead of the
curve, and I drive a vanagon. I intend to be driving a vanagon for a
long time.

Best,

Jim
