Imagine my amazement when I found one of these in a junkyard this weekend.
A gin-u-wine honest-to-goodness VW fog-light switch in a junked Vanagon.  I
took it so quickly I had no time to notice the swarm of wasps hanging on its
nest from the ceiling about 10 inches from my head.  Then I turned my head..
I don't think I moved that fast since basic training.


Chris.
