I've been saying "van-a-gone" but realized yesterday that if it's a contraction of vanwagon it might actually be "van-aggin". Zo, whichizzit? >> Andrew, The owner of a parts store where I sometimes end up in my relentless quest for parts, takes great pleasure in referring to my van as a VanaGONE. Standing there amid every part ever made for a Chevy, he unduly stresses the GONE. He's the professional, so, that must be the correct pronunciation. Rich |
