You're in it! Vanagons are everywhere in Portland. I lived there from 98-03,
had a brown/tan 82 diesel van. within 5 blocks, all on the same street, were
two others exactly the same color, plus 3 others of different colors/years.
All at different addresses. It seemed like I couldn't go anywhere without
seeing at least one.

I'm spending the next year in the Washington, D.C. area, been here two
months and still haven't seen a Vanagon.
