It was my wife that got me into Vanagons in the first place.  She and her Ex
had a Westy Syncro which she regretted leaving behind so we bought our own.
Technically it is hers as we were not married then but she has only driven
it a few times since August 1, 2003 when we purchased it.  Since then I have
purchased two more, one for a Winter daily driver the other for parts.  Soon
I we will be back down to one though as the parts van awaits being stripped
and the daily driver Sunroof Syncro is for sale.  I no longer need it since
she gave me a `2010 Element for Christmas.  I will miss the roominess of the
Vanagon but real cabin heat, headlights that work better than candles, and a
warranty will make up for it and we still have the Westy.
