Hey Leon,

That was Tim F. from Woodland, CA who brought his Testarowagen one year.
It's not as pretty as a Vanagon and not AWD like a Syncro. Can be easily
worth less than a 90's Syncro Westy as sold by GW. You can't sleep in it.
You can't play in it. You have to park it way from everyone else at the mall
for fear of getting door dings. If it's as bad a battery hog like my
brother's '06 360 spyder, it can't keep itself charegd more than two weeks
at a time. I suspect the opposite sex likes it better than our Syncros
though.=(

There's tons of BMW V12's for sale cheap. Maybe one day, someone will be
crazy enough to make a Vanagon G50iL. Whole running V12 cars are going for
less than a Wasserboxer head reseal.
