Huge hugs!!!!!  I just wanted to say that I am glad you are here!  I have
been driving and hiking in National Parks as I cross the country, and
missed seeing you come on board!  These Vanagon's are getting old, and
yours being an 85 is up there.  It's perfect for what you need it for
though!!!!  I am hoping its something small.  Great job keeping an eye on
fluids and keeping in touch with Miles, and your other mechanic!  We all
have to start somewhere with these vans.  Breaking down is your greatest
opportunity to learn about the van, and to meet new people.  I am glad you
are getting it towed to LA.  You will have much better resources, and you
won't be stuck in the heat anymore.  Ack!  Tell us more about you!  :D.
Tell us how you decided to fall in love with a Vanagon?!!!!
