While checking online for the latest offerings from our local pick-and-pull I saw their listing for an ’89 Vanagon.  Went by in the rain to see about it and found a blue Wolfsburg hardtop pretty well stripped, and the obvious victim of an engine compartment fire. What’s left is smoke damaged and heavily scavenged, including sliced-away body panels going to some deserving recipient.  No visible rust, so it’s a shame it had to leave us this way.  I have not seen the van around the 'hood for a while and figured the guy moved.  It might still be out there but for, presumably, the fuel lines.  Take the hint!
