Hope not, I'll never be able to afford one if it has!

A friend I work with has a Vanagon with a bad engine. I asked him once if he
would sell it and the answer was "no, I'm going to put a Subaru engine in
it". That was a year ago - he's waiting to "steal" a engine from someone.
I'm waiting patiently.....

Subject: Pulling up to Border Patrol checkpoint on Highway 111 in Southern
California

I had washed and waxed the Westy after the a big rain in Southern California
and I approached
a Border Patrol checkpoint about 50 miles south of Palm Springs on Highway
111.
The fellow could not have been over 30
The conversation went like this:

BP "Are you traveling alone"
Me  "Yes".
BP  "Where do you live".
Me  "Vancouver, BC".
BP  As he took a close look at the Vanagon he nodded his approval and he had
a grin
       from ear to ear.
        "Cool......................very cool"

I have owned this since 2002 in the past year I have received more positive
comments than
the previous years put together.
Has the world gone Vanagon mad?
