Uh, Rusty....
While I welcome you - a prodigal son - back to the list with open arms, I'm
going to have to ask you to watch the language.
Otherwise, I'll have to use that bar of Lava soap for your mouth! ;)
Good to see you back,

DON'T be ridiculous, pregnant wife and a two year old... <as if!>
After over twenty years of living a lie, I... um I... well I~ I can not go
on
with the Aircooled charade any longer!!!!
Well OK, it's not like I have to hide it or anything. People will talk and
call
me names and wonder what I have been up to all of these years. I may lose
friends. I may ever lose my job and have to attend a 'spethial' church on
Sunday, but I am out and I am proud I will wave the flag high and strut my
stuff with pride! Flannel shirts, wide mens leather writhst watch bands,
hiking
boots and if necessary act BUTCH at Denny's! (oh my goodness) I know that
there
are those of you who will support my cause and take up the "staff" that I
carry
ahead of me. I, um.... I, ah... <blush>
went WATERCOOLED this week.
OK, I feel so ASHAMED I feel so humiliated. I feel dirty to the point at
which
repetitive showering with dry bars of LAVA soap will not make it go away.
It's
easy to blame it all on that aggressive choir instructor at my Catholic
Parish
in my youth but NO! Gosh darn it! IT'S MY DECISION and I am standing by
it!!!!
This week I chose to sign my name to documents which lock me into a monthly
BUTT RAPE for a mint condition 1997, one owner, Eurovan Winnebago Camper
with
(total embarrassment and shame) an AUTOMATIC and AIR CONDITIONING. I even
admit
to seeking it out and accepting an interest rate above that of a regular,
normal, well-adjusted ~ passenger car~. <hysterical crying>...
I feel like such of a jail house BITCH! I mean getting in on the LOW END of
the
wholesale value of a such of a chick bus. Oh slap my wrist, it isnt even
called
a bus <more emotional melting> it's, it's, it's referred to as a... as a...
VAN!!!!!!! <total melt down>
I really tried to go Synchro Westy- I really did! The fear of WET heads and
cooling PIPES, Expensive and invasive procedures to put me in gear and
intermittant electrically charged DEATH QUIVERS made me go astray. I could
have
paid the same or more for AWD Westies with 150,000+ miles on them with no
guarantees but NO! I had to PUSS out and rely on the apron strings of Momma
Volkswagen and SUCK up the remaining extended warranty.
Gathering myself back together and recomposing myself, I can defend myself
and
say that it has 63,400 miles on it, drives like a dominatrix is on it's ASS,
has a WHIPPING sound system, an ALARMING security system and is so VIRGIN
that
you'd expect the odometer to read 10,000 miles. The wife found it hiding in
the
special classifieds and encouraged me to make the call. I HOOKED UP with the
retired Motorola Engineer who was so ANAL about his van that he had
indoor-outdoor carpeting squares in his driveway under each tire. <true
statement>. I even made the previous owners cry at time at which I PAID FOR
IT!
They were so broke up that they asked me to hang back while they drove away-
claiming that it was the best for both of us... <whimper>.
I am appologizing for this public confession, but I had to get it off of my
chest. I appologize to everyone to whom I had ever exposed to aircooled
knowledge and lead astray. I ask for your forgiveness and admit that I am
powerless. I get all my strength from a higher power (VR6). This was such of
a
PUSS deal that I had to step up and admit my transgressions.
Hello, my name is Jim, I am a Vanaholic.
