I'm one that has had good luck with the apparent invisibility of a Vanagon
to cops looking for speeders.  Kind of the opposite of a teenager in a red
Corvette.
Though I do cruise our TiiCo powered '88 above the posted limit, and I
figure that Vanagons are about as visible to radar and laser as a semi, I
have never been stopped.  I figure that the cops simply can't connect the
speed that came up on the gun with the Vanagon that they see before them.  I
can see the cop smacking the speed gun and muttering "What's the matter with
you, those things don't go that fast"

As I was driving home from traffic court today I
wondered how many other list members had recieved
speeding tickets in their vanagons?
Mine was for 66 in a 45... it really bummed me out
because thats about as fast as I ever drive it...
