Glad your impulse purchase worked out for you, Eric.

I made an impulse purchase 25 years ago, an ‘87 VW Vanagon Syncro GL for $400. It’s gonna take a lot of “truth serum” for me to admit how much I’ve spent since then. And I don’t want to know how I’m going to spend.

 But, surprise I really like it!

I’ve learned so much and everybody I’ve met through my ownership has been great!

PS. One thing I learned ( I think it was on this List) was the phrase; “The cheapest cars turn out to be the most expensive.”

To my surprise all fit and I had two large compartments empty for future use.  Plus the existing items are organized with like things together and  items much easier to find.
