Why is everybody looking to change their oldtimer-Vanagons.Don't you like
the design ?
Vanagons came with an engine and everybody tries to figure out what other
engine they could put in there. The car came with alright working tires and
everybody wants to put something else on the car.
Gee I understand the need of a tinted window in a gold-metallic Mercedes and
the special rim thing but on a Vanagon ??
Look, no matter what you do the car it remains an outdated design, cute by
itself but with aerodynamics of a building and a handling in especially
windy conditions that is just purely poor.
check your tire pressure and enjoy your ride...
