Isn't driving any form of Vanagon a complete statement in itself.

Apropos of that.....

Reminds me of a conversation over beers once. Various friends/acquaintances were
discussing the statements that theirs' and others' vehicles made about them. As
most of those participating were aware, I was driving a rather scrofulous and
much-loved '77 (non-Westy) VW Campervan at the time. I asked the 'leader' of the
talk what statement my vehicle made about me. Without hesitation he replied,
"Your's is the vehicle of a man who doesn't give a sh*t". I had to admit he was
probably right........

Ron, If you do come up with something that it tickles you to display on the LED,
I'd be curious to know.
