OK, get this: 1995 Jeep Cherokee, perfect running condition. I was driving on what I now call the Bermuda Triange....a section of 3 intersecting freeways in Austin....and BOOM! The jeep throws a rod and nicely ruins the engine block. 2 months later, with my replacement 1986 Mitsubishi Montero I am driving innocently within my "bermuda triangle", BOOM! Same thing happens - I throw a rod and it rips through the engine. So although this coincidence has no vanagon content, I avoid this area at all costs. I am a firm believer in contagious car problems! Alan |
