Would someone please courier Eric his meds?
I probably see 20 or more Vanagon pickups a day around here. Every
now and then I'll spot a single cab. yeah, they're rarer, but what's
the problem with that? And maybe a double cab would do?
I've never been able to find a good bus in less than a few months.
And Kim prolly wouldn't like a lot of the ones for sale here, since
they're often banged-up work trucks, rusted out, leaky head gaskets,
and the like. It's usually hard to find a vehicle worth buying,
especially if you're going to the trouble of bringing it home from a
long distance away.
And wanna know why you don't see many Vanagon pickups in the states,
Eric? It's because your government blocked importation of the
pickups as a protectionist trade measure. Figured it would hurt US
truck market or some such. There was no such barrier to import and
sale of Vanagon pickups in Canada, however, and they've proven to be
very popular here. Double cab, single cab, cream, grey, blue,
WHITE... Lots and lots of white, probably because it's a good basic
colour if you're going to do a paint job anyway, as you would when
painting a company truck. We have lots of Eurovan pickups and
flatbeds here, fer Christsake! NEWS FLASH: VW trucks are common in
many countries outside the US!
Oh, I get it.... Eric's been trolling us all along! Good one, man!
You had me going there. It's Friday everyday where you live! Lucky
you!
