<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV> <P>Must be different here. Every winter when we ski the back country on Loveland pass we have at least 2 or 3 people come over and ask for rolling paper ect. You are right though now that I think about it. Most of the Vanagons here (not all!) are in pretty rough shape. Not exactly middle/upper class looking vehicles. Lots of hippie wanna be's here in Boulder you know! I've seen a few vans when I have been in Calif. Man you guys have the $$. Slowly getting mine there! Mine is in really good shape though.</P> <P>Randy Charrette</P> <P>87' Syncro weekender</P> <P>208K<BR><BR></P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Tobin Copley <TOBIN.COPLEY@UBC.CA> <DIV></DIV>>Reply-To: Tobin Copley <TOBIN.COPLEY@UBC.CA> <DIV></DIV>>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: speeding ticket in Vanagon <DIV></DIV>>Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 15:16:27 -0800 <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>At 6:00 PM -0500 2/20/02, Randy Charrette wrote: <DIV></DIV>>>Anyone else ever feel like they were "profiled" for driving a VW <DIV></DIV>>>van? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Driving a Vanagon?
