Made it through the week and just wanted to thank everyone who sent good wishes and VERY helpful suggestions. My partner, Ed, and I are still working out the muscle aches and pains...but are both really glad to be around to tell our tale. We took at look at the VW and are very impressed at how well it held up in the rollover and banging into cement barrier (several times). And the seatbelts really held us (and the seats!) in place very well. My suggestion from all this: if you don't have shoulder seat belts in your van....put them in this weekend and wear them every time you leave the driveway. .... But you all know that already.... thanks again, Sue (soon to be) owner of 1990 vanagon |
