Dear vanagonitera who can not wait til Friday and apologies to MODs
Average shelf life of a North American ceo is reported to be less than 2
years - please don't bring up the outlier long term ones - this is an
average meaning there are a few at the top and bottom and a whole bunch in
the less than 2 year bracket - the resignation or high turn over is not
daily news and often only followed by people interested in the company- the
brand or that particular Ceo
This is not in any way Vanagon related of course - simply has to do with
the brand which is also not really us as most VW dealer do not have a clue
about a Vanagon
Regards
