Listees,

This is a very good question.  It seems that there are pockets of Vanagons in
certain parts of the continent.  Other parts are relatively Vanagon-free.  It
is my unsubstantiated belief that Vanagon production averaged only slightly
more per annum than Porsche 911 production of the same period.  Can anyone
substantiate this?  If this is true, then we own limited production vehicles!
 (Don't expect the value of your Vanagon to double overnight if this
revelation is true.)

As with Porsches, there are portions of North America that Vanagon rich and
others that are Vanagon poor.  I live in a Vanagon poor area (South
Carolina).  Therefore I drive my Vanagon as much as possible, wave at other
Vanagon drivers, stay tuned to the list, maintain my Vanagon regularly and
keep the Vanagon faith alive.  Beyond this there isn't much that any of us
can do.

Be glad that you don't see yourself at every stop light.  It would decrease
the desirability of your vehicle.
