I feel the same way..
I can spot a Vanagon from a mile away with minimal ques and I always hope to see some when cruising between Boston MA and Westchester NY but I'm very lucky if I see one.� On one vacation weekend I passed one going the opposite way on interstate 95 in I think it was Maine. On the way back I passed the same van on my way home and presumably theirs.� I think some of you smart phone app folks need to make a Van locator app that lets folks know where your at cruising on down the road!

Dennis, I know what you mean on actually seeing vans on the road,
however I have to share something I experienced when going to Belize
last January.� Went to Belize to work on a customer's Vanagon (88 Silver
Wolfsburg).� While staying in the Placencia area we drove all the way
down to the end of the peninsula.� This is one of those "end of the
world" places that you come to the end of the road and there is the
ocean on all sides except behind you.� What do I find at the end of this
road but a Vanagon just sitting there parked on the side of the road.
It is one of those two tone brown and tan 84s that are out there.� I
have personally owned one of these so it was cool to find one here at
the end of everything.

So I guess that just says to me that at the end of the road, there will
still be a Vanagon sitting there, waiting.�  Just thought I would share.
