I don't know Stan, I think he has a point. Having just purchased a NEUSED syncro I am finding a lot of use for this word.

- For instance, since I have never driven in snow before that is NEUSED - My syncro is not aircooled which is NEUSED - The Webasto heater heats with coolant instead of gas like my BA-6 that is also NEUSED - The syncro is 4WD as opposed to Pokey's 2WD which is NEUSED - Having not sold Pokey yet (available in March asking $6,000 CAD / $4,000 US) I have entered the dangerous slipery slope of multiple van ownership (Stan are you listening) this double van situation is NEUSED - The syncro actually has some power which is NEUSED - The syncro has air conditioning which is NEUSED

Am I using the word right Jerry?

No?

Oh well...

Thanks, Chris
