I think that Vanagons are starting to become like the 1950's American cars
that the Cubans are even still continuing to fix and use.  Creativity,
ambition, and mechanical skills go a long way.  Just another reason why
making old stuff continue to work is better in so many ways than giving up
and buying new stuff.

I get especially disgusted when I see perfectly good BBQ grills out for
garbage pickup, when I've rebuilt my trusty Kenmore gas grill twice in
thirteen years and it still makes a badass steak....
