The van has been missing from Strausbaugh's lot for a week now. Of 
course, they may have just taken it camping or a trip. They do that from 
time to time.
The VWs they sell are now spread out over what used to be the floor of 
the building they dismantled. Bugs, Ghias, a Fastback...some nice VWs, 
but they always want such high $$ for them and they never budge on a 
price.
I'll keep a lookout for the return of the van, if it hasn't sold.
