Per Miss Drummond (Fifth grade): ..."would have, not would of"

Are our "Vanagon egos" so fragile that we have to suggest that  we respond
to negative words with property damage?  In the past, my truck has been
victim to random neighborhood keying  :(   not a pleasant discovery.
I prefer to quietly know which is the superior vehicle and drive the best of
the two.   My van is rib-pokingly referred to at work as the "assault bus"
or "Arab attack van" but many of my co-workers who have ridden in it often
mention the German workmanship and/or no-nonsense styling.  The various
Chryslervan owners almost always rave over the interior spaciousness. As
someone recently posted ..."our Vanagons are unique and so are their
divers".
