Subject:      Re: WBX bashing

You all make me laugh!!!


Why are you bashing each other????


Is it an American car VS import car thing/bashing!!!!


The Japs and the European makes better 4-cylinder car, American don't know
shit about small engine. The best 8 cylinder are made buy German, it is
call Mercedes. The American makes the best truck. This is quite simple.


2 things, I did more head gasket change than all of you guys together:

Head leak are a typical problem for all import 4-cylinder engine over 100K
miles, believe me! (And this is not an 80' problem!!! I just did a 98
Toyota this week.)
The wasser is no exception; most of the Vanagon drivers don't know shit
about engine or how to dive an underpowered vehicle. Maybe that why so many
are having problems.


I did 45K km (28k miles) in 2 summers, with proper maintenance, this as
been one of the most reliable engine and van/car I had ever own, period.


Chill out guys, you all love the same thing.
