Okay, a couple of points to consider.

First, I had a '76 bus named Peregrine. Greg mentioned my trials and
tribulations with Peregrine.

Second, and this is really the kicker, my number one destination is
the Colorado Plateau -- Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Cedar Mesa. From San
Diego thats' 500 to 600 miles and an 8000 foot gain in elevation. In
my GTI I can do it in 7 hours. I'm guessing that in a watercooled
Vanagon I'm looking at 10 to 12 hours for the same trip.

Sound right? Are Vanagons slow pulling long grades?
