Subject:Re: Syncro as a daily driver?

I'd like to thank everyone for their honest opinion. A lot of the
sentiments mentioned I share with you already. The one that I found
rather suprising, in good way, was Scott's inquiry if my wife was on
board with the idea. I have to say that she's the one who mentioned a
Syncro as an option on a few occasions.   But the comment is truly
telling of the commitment it takes to nurse a full time Vanagon along.
 My 84 Westy "Hershey" has performed the task admirably for the last 3
months while my Beetle TDI is waiting for me to quit playing with the
bus and replace its injection pump. (Yes, Scott, you were right about
that too).    I must say i would rather do it myself than make other
people's mortgage payments.

Thanks again. With my daughter's upcoming     start of college
"anywhere but here" and taking her daddy's TDI, a decision shall be
made in short enough time.
