Vanagon running perfectly? Reminds me of the time that I was driving down the freeway on my last business related errand during the day before a long forgotten vacation. A much welcomed summer "Monsoon" storm swept though metropolitan Phoenix area. The normal radically high temperature had dropped all the way down into the low 90's- upper 80's. My thoughts at that moment were that my life was in perfect order, I was in a great mood and nothing could get better. I was in the zone. The vortex was mine. Shiznit be around me an' such... Seconds later I hit a deep water puddle at the old configuration of AZ hwy 360 (60/Superstition Frwy @ Mill Ave. underpass) spun my '85 Toyota truck 180 into the center wall and skidded backwards for about 75 yards with "head-on" traffic coming right at me. Whoo-hoo! No need to check for tight valves at THAT moment. Vortex gone. Shiznit be in my pants. Don't worry bro, before you know it, you will be reminded why this list is as large and long running as it is. =) Jim -Check Engine Soon- Ellis '97 Eurovan, Phoenix,AZ USA <humor for early friday, not bad attitude> __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
