Well it is Friday......

FYI: the ejection seats in Canadian Fighters have been judged unsafe for certain weight classes of pilots (eg: quarterhorse fly-boys, or the slightly "chunky").

In any case, make sure your vanagon ejection seats have sufficient power, or all the fatties will get is a "bump on the head", and you'll have a parachute all over the interiour of your van.

        For the ultimate in Vanagon Fun.  Surplus Soviet ejection seats as used by the Yugoslavs trying to overfly Bosnia, mounted in the correct positions in a sunroof Vanagon.  When those annoying kids or in-laws finally grate that final nerve........they're outta there for a 150 ft decent on a nice fluffy canopy of nylon.  
        Does anyone know if Yugo Auto prices will actually go up with the recent developments?  Why not?  From $100 to $125.
