Ha!

Well back in the day, when I "upgraded" from my last Old Beetle to a
Volvo 145S, in hindsight, I should have "upgraded" to a Vanagon!
(can't find 145 specs, but I'll bet it was close to a Vanagon in
length)

(but back in '85, on my "just getting started" musicians earnings,
well, what was a new/slightly used Vanagon going for back then?)
