Sounds a lot more "Kid" related than Vanagon related.  Can't we stick to
tires and oil and skip the trick or treat?...Just 'kidding'............PS,
I don't have any kids but I do have a Vanagon....Can someone tell me how to
make my Vanagon look like a Lamborghini?....and perform like one?   Heck
with toasters and Kleenex boxes...Is it Friday yet?
