Hey Folks,

Six weeks ago I was watching 'police chases' on the FX channel when I caught
a glimpse of a Vanagon just before the commercial break. It was featured in
the 'coming up next' clip.

All I could do was grab my digi cam to record the footage off the t.v.
screen (sorry for the poor quality).

What I saw next was horrifying. It was hard not to cry. Looks like VW &
Europe putting our lovely crew cabs through the ringer for highway safety.

I've taken the footage, and threw together a quick lil' memorial in honor of
our lovely Vanagons (and one Porsche. seemed appropriate). This not for the
faint of heart.

I've posted the movie for all to see on my web space. It's about 4 mb. I
hope it's not too slow. It was made with iMovie on a Mac. Might need
QuickTime to view it. I don't have a PC and haven't been able to test it for
windows.
