Well, now I can say that these guys who made up the Car-O-Scope really
doesn't know what they are talking about. They told me, after evaluating
my test, that I really don't belong in a Vanagon.

First quote: "Boy oh boy, Per, you picked a vehicle that just isn't
               quite right for you,"
Comment: Well, if this vehicle wasn't right fro me, I wouldn't be
driving it, would I? I am a bachelor, I don't need to haul around a
minibus. I do it by choice.

Second quote: "My dear, it appears that other Volkswagen Vanagon
               owners just don't care as much about their cars as you
               do."
Comment: Is this true? I refuse to believe I am the person most
passionate about the Vanagon around here. Comments, anyone?

Third quote: "Car-O-Scope has determined
               that you are a person who is quite concerned with
               status. And yet, you're driving a Volkswagen Vanagon.
               Other Volkswagen Vanagon drivers just aren't as much
               of a snob as you are."
Comment: I am not a snob. If I had the choice, I would rather drive my
1973 Squareback each day, over the Vanagon, but I cant cause the Square
is very rusty and needs rust-oration before I can use it again.

So, what cars does the Car-O-Scope suggest I should be driving? Well, it
suggest 5 American cars. I don't even like American cars! These are the
5:

                    1. Chevrolet Camaro
                   2.
                     AMC Jeep
                   3.
                     Ford Mustang
                   4.
                     Pontiac Firebird
                   5.
                     Mercury Cougar

I wouldn't buy any of these, and they are way too expensive over here.
The Car-O-Scope sure doesn't regard geographic criterias.

My conclusion: This should not be taken seriously, it can only be meant
for fun, nothing else.
Oh, one of the ending lines in my result: "Don't drive that
               Volkswagen Vanagon for another day."

Well, I very well tend to!
