<< hello everyone,
   my wife wants me to sell my 87 vanagon syncro-- i say no way -- she
 says yes way.   any way she says the syncro is an expensive toy and it
 will cost large quantities of money to keep it on the road. i say all
 cars are expensive to operate. she has been reading my email from the
 list and she has this idea that vanagons (the syncro type) are expensive
 to keep and hard to get parts for the syncro system. i told her, not
 hard to find parts just expensive. anyway i want to keep the van because
 it is the best road trip vehicle that i have ever owned and it is built
 like a tank ( great for crashes). could someone on the list please give
 me some ammo to use in helping me convince my wife we should keep -
 Casper- the van is white , and that's the name my kids gave him . thanks
 to everyone in advance. happy vaning to all .
