It would be a shame for this thread to end. Aren't these just names for your
vanagons? It wouldn't be the first time a do-it-yourself vanagon mechanic
called a van a four letter word. I had a shade tree mechanic once rebuild my
engine who used so many crude 4-letter words (at the top of his voice and in
front of his wife) that it made me blush. It was so bad that if I were not
stuck with the engine already out of the vehicle I would have left. William
