What is it with Vanagons and the East Coast vs the West Coast. Here in
Alabama I associate with the east coast, and Vanagons are few and far
between. I rarely ever see a Vanagon in the Birmimgham area - although I
do see them. I can go months and not see a one. When I was in Santa Fe
there were quite a few. But from discussions, the left coast is where
they are in great numbers. What differences in attitudes might have
created such a phenomenon - few on the right coast, more on the left coast?
