I don't know what fumes you're breathing at work don, but what's with the 100X statement?

Even considering Go Westy high prices for syncro westy, let's say they list one for $100,000, your metric requires an equivalent vehicle to sell for $1,000.

Highest listed price I've seen recently up here for a syncro westy was 42k. That means, according to you, I could get an equivalent vehicle for $420.

I have no issue discussing high prices for vanagons, but please let's keep it real.
