I was driving up Hwy 18 near Tiger summit (near Seattle WA) in a loaner
1998 VW Jetta, then I came upon a Vanagon.  This van was a 70's or earlier
(sorry I don't know my vanagons), and was the pickup style.  It had dual
doors on each side and a canapy on the back.  It also sat nose down.

The mystery part is that the vanagon was going over 70 mph up hill.  Every
time a car moved out of its way or we came out of a corner it was easily
out accelerating the Jetta.  When we hit I-90 I finally let the vanagon
pull away alittle.  Of course I was doing 95 mph at the time and didn't
have much of a choice (I really don't need another ticket).  I caught the
vanagon when it was slowing for and off ramp.  I think the driver knew I
was trying to look at his van, because he just glanced over and smiled.

I vangon didn't sound like a normal VW, although I don't know what one
sounds like going 95+ mph.  It also had two exhuast pipes coming out the
back in the center (if that makes any difference).

Anyways, is it safe to assume this is not a stock VW?
