I own an 86 Vanagon syncro 160,00 on the clock. I driver to and from work,
25 miles one way.  I run between 70 and 75 most days.  If weather is bad or
windy (head wind) I run at 65.

     I realy enjoy the list, don't change a thing.  Its amazing how much in
come we have.  Anyone for eggs and spam?
