If I haven't perfected telecommuting by then I will probably be driving a Prius since that nice 04 model will be ripe for the picking in about 5 years. I will still be looking forward to the weekend when I can break out the 84 Westy (which by then will be TDIWVO powered) and head for the hills. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Willenbrock To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 12:23 AM Subject: Re: What will you all be driving 15 years from now since the EV is dead?
man this really sucks! if in 15 years most you guys won't be driving vanagons, then that means this list won't exist! if this list won't exist then, who will walk me thru my hydrogen cell conversion on my 87 westy syncro? who will answer my stupid "does this sound normal?" questions? who will argue with me if it would be a wise idea to convert a westy potop onto my wife's hydro-magnetic-aquafina-jazzmoplazz-rotor-gerter? i'll be lost without this!! well, i guess that's it then, nothing left to do now but drive the hell out of my syncro and enjoy every single moment i have with it. BTW, i do enjoy every single moment i have it peace out jason 90gl 87 syncro westy 87 wolfsburg parts van
