Hi Everyone,

This thread to starting to take on a very bad flavor. Let's please end
this now and move on REAL Vanagon related topics.
In the first place, such postings belong on Fridays.

As far as my personal opinion is concerned, stories like these do not
merit discussion unless it was someone we know
and wish to mourn/remember. I know it is difficult to not stare at
trainwrecks but if you do, you will see carnage, injury, maybe
even. Do you really want to occupy your day reading about it? <sigh> I don't.

Hey, how about this Northern California storm? I forgot the windows
open in my Vanagon and now have a puddle in the front steps.
Opened the door and voila. Footful of water.
