Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

Thanks, Alan. You are the second person to recommend Boston, but...I'm kind of hoping to keep it local. Van Again in Millville, NJ isn't too far....I just got it towed back home from S. Jersey on Thursday for over $130.

I am leaning toward a place in Wyndmoor, PA, called Wagenwerks. (WWW.Wagenwerks.com). I'm waiting for a call back from them, as well as from Lehmann's Auto in Bechtelsville PA. Any thoughts here?

The previous owner happens to be my father, and he just told me that the dealer told him that this Vanagon has a 4-liter Porsche engine. Four liters seems awfully big, but he says the large displacement was their big selling point (obviously...). Now, my Vanagon easily creeps up to 80 mph on the hiway, but...I don't know, it just seems like I'd be getting a LOT more power out of this 4 speed with a 4.0.

I guess it's time to dig out the paperwork...

Thanks in advance for any input! -Lauren
