OK, Jeff I'll bite on this - although my response will be less than
dramatic:

I have killed 1 Vanagon - although its carcas is still being picked over for
parts :)

On the other hand I have saved 2 Vanagons. One '85 that was my first bus - I
killed it and then I gave it to a friends and we saved it. My '90 was set to
be parted out and now it's my daily driver.

So my Vanagon karma is well ballanced in the positive :)
