I'm not driving, but "sitting on" my grandfather's '85 GL... Drove it for a year (some before, some after) he died & have never loved a vehicle more (not even my '83 Saab 900 TURBO!!!!) I'm "sitting on" it because of the apparently inevitable coolant problem... I'm trying to save the $2000 or more I've been told it needs to be fixed (& set up a trust fund for future repairs!) Though I read somewhere a VW Vanagon is on of those "top twenty cars of all time no one should ever own" (let alone drive!) my memories of driving it with my grand father, and after him will inspire me to keep it and (keep fixing it) forever!!
