Well, I had an encounter ar a speedy lube place in Southern California.
But this was with an 85 Fleetwood Caddy.  I pulled into their drive-thru
stall.  The attendant (I refuse to use the word technician) proceeded to
look up my vehicle on his computer.  After a few minutes he told me that
they could not do the oil change because my vehicle was not listed in their
system.

Okay....   relating to the vanagon lack of knowledge.  I would NEVER, EVER
let ANYONE touch my van that didn't know where the engine was or how to
proceed with it.
