Yesterday I looked at my odometer and realized I missed an important
event in the history of my Vanagon.  It now passed the 250,000 mile
mark, original engine, original tranny (but with a soft rebuild
inside).  Let's hear from anyone else out there, 250,000 miles plus,
with original "hardware!!"  The only major work I ever had done on mine
was a tranny soft rebuild in 1998 and new head gaskets in 1996.  Nothing
else big.  When I bought my van new, I was looking at the Ford Aerostar
and the Dodge "Care Bear" vans.  It is clear I made the right choice,
those others would be rust fodder in some bone-yard today.  It is true,
"Few things work as well as a Volkswagen!!!!
