To All, I normaly stay quite on the list and listen to the wisdom that the list has to offer but I must speak up now. I am offfended at the generalization and the ignorance of people on the list. I am a phish fan and i have a colledge degree and make a lot of money in technologies. I own a Wsty syncro and yes it is a money pit and a time consumer, but i love her and i am willing to stick it out with her. I fly to Phish shoes when they are far and drive my baby when i can. I am offended that phish heads are being generalized as stinking dirty hippies with no money which is being implied. You must judge a van owner on the devotion they have to the van and the resources they put into it. Because the kid is a Phish head doesn't mean he didn't spend his spare time working on his baby. I am not trying to start a war on the list but judge individuals and do not stereotype people for somthing they like. My advise is to take the van in and get it inspected by a profesional, also remember that all vanagons need a lot of love they are old and when you own one it will have problems at some point. If you are not able or wiling to deal with them than you have the wrong car get something that is known for its good behavior not just its looks. Adrian
