Subject:      Can't Believe the Van Prices on eBay

I have been looking at eBay trying to get comparative  prices for an '87
Cabriolet (for my sons who turn 16 today). I can't believe the prices on
later model Vanagons (nonWesty). WOW! There are 3-4 '90 and '91 models at
auction all currently under $4500! Where were these last Summer when I was
trying to find a decent van for the wife of a co-worker? She settled for a
Chrys___r minivan because the pickings were so slim...her loss :<

Hans has new rotors sitting in the garage waiting for me to give him new
stopping power at 160K. Yesterday the coolant temp light came on for the
first time in almost a year...damn gremlins. Otherwise he's going for 200K,
strong and proud.

Fritz came out of hibernation and went for a short five mile spin after only
needing a two minute boost with the battery charger....Hurry Spring, Hurry!

Just a reminder to those that can make it....Van get together next Saturday
in Columbus' Goodale park  11 to 2 (?)...all are welcome.
