Alas.....
Maybe I'm just getting old. Speed and engine power used to mean a lot to
me. For years I've read all the posts on how to get more power for the
vanagon. At first (nine years ago) when I first got my westy the lack of
power was hard to bear. Over time though I have almost learned to
cherish the forced behavior change it commands if I choose to drive it.
When driving the westy I am forced to become a different person. I slow
down......   Its not as important to get places so fast. No longer want
to pass anyone (this one took a little while). I enjoy the scenery and
take in life a little more. Hell, you can nearly give up prozac!
Give up Luke on trying to make your two ton brick go faster. Come over
to the "parked" side.

Flame me...... its cold up here this morning!
