Maintenance is more important, that's why our Vanagons keep on ticking, heading for a quarter million miles.> Well said, my friend! I consider my 258,000 miles to be the first HALF of my vehicle's life. This distance is far enough to take me to the moon -- now I have to get back ;-) A good deal is in the eye of the beholder. That's why a small house in LA costs more than a mansion in Peoria. (nothing against Peoria) Just my humble $.03 worth (cost of living in Phoenix) Bill Marshall |
