Subject:      Vanagon, "The Porsche 911 of Vans"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


I just got a dealer sales brochure for the 1983.5 Vanagon that I paid too
much for on Ebay--I got caught up in the bidding frenzy. But it is a nice
brochure.


Anyway, I got a kick out of the brochure which boasts a Car & Driver quote
emblazened across a photo of three busses in formation driving through some
mud
"The Porsche 911 of Vans"


Maybe that would be good for a quote on the sticker in the sticker contest to
save those of us going through mid-life criseses from need a sports
car--convinced we've already got one.


As for the 911 thing, I love my bus as much as the next guy, provided the
next guy is an obsessed freak, but let's be honest at best it's the "Karmann
Ghia of Vans".


And it's a BUS anyway. PUT 'EM UP! PUT 'EM UP!
