A couple of months ago one of our notable online vendors called me to ask
if I had a certain used part, as he had a customer who needed one. I did.
He asked me to ship it quickly, adding "some of these people are using
their Vanagons as daily drivers!"

I had to chuckle to myself when I told him that I was one of those people.
