Ron, the way those guys dissed the Vanagon, I don't think nyone would
mind too much.  Their show was a classic and I spent many an hour
howling over their schtick......  even if they did steal that law firm
thing(Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe) from the Marx Brothers.

They did do a trivia question once that I actually guessed(but never
sent in anything official). The question was "A man has a VW Bus that
won't climb up his driveway due to slick ice and snow conditions.  He
opens up the hood  in the back and makes one adjustment and returns to
the driver's seat and now the vehicle makes it up the driveway....what
did he do in the engine compartment?

The answer is classic, but then most of us have tried it a time or two......
