Both my kids want almost nothing to do with our Vanagons although my older son just purchased his second Jetta (2009). His first was totaled being car #2 in a 5 car pile-up.  Now for my wife the Vanagon, especially Fun Bus rules. Selling that would be really bad for us.

Subject: The Price We Pay For Being "Cool"

Just the other day my 18 yr old daughter was pleading with me, "Don't sell the Vanagon, everyone thinks its so cool. You know you'll regret it." So, now my Vanagon sits in the garage with the dash completely ripped out and I'm trying to figure out how to pry this stinkin' case apart to access the locked up blower motor. Right now I hate this van more than anything on earth! I just watched Bryan's video, and he's right-it may just be better to sell the van! I wished I'd watched it before I began this job....
