Subject: What really sucks.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Well now if anyone is going to bash Vanagons and Eurovans we might as well
bash apple pie and motherhood while we are at it.
I almost bought a used Eurovan but the extra ten grand was a deterrent and I
just love the vanagon concept. What actually sold me was the factory rebuilt
engine with only 30,000 miles and a new transmission with only 28,000 miles,
and a rust free vehicle.
My only regret is that the PO put on the wrong tires and in a good cross
wind I need to slow down to feel safe. And of course struts failure.
My only other complaint would be one immature person who writes nasty notes
to me telling me he has put me in his automatic into his trash program and
tells me he gave me another chance to behave. Don't give me another chance
to behave "your way" and don't tell me I'm going into your trash bin. Just
do it. I don't need to be informed about your neurotic meanness that you
call humor. I have left your name off this message as a courtesy to you and
this list. Just grow up and don't send me any more messages that I'm going
into your trash bin. I just don't care. You can just do it without informing
me.
What an idiot!
