This is a gross misrepresentation of the true performance of the diesel Vanagon. You don't merge into traffic! In reality, it's somewhere between an obnoxious intrusion into traffic and parking in the right lane :-) Mike Snow
<snip> ps If you think an automatic aircooled Vanagon loses power on hills, try merging onto an expressway in a Diesel. (now preparing for flames from both aircooled _and_ diesel camps... oh well, maybe I'll get Bus Depot in the header of some more list posts anyway; I've only been mentioned 27 times in one day, going for a new record...) |
