Bought my first one at 21, and '82 diesel, for $1000 from someone that used
it as a dirt hauling car for the garden.  Took a lot of cleaning and some
TLC, but we fixed it up and took it on a 3 month tour of the U.S.  It was a
sweet vehicle and forced us to look at the country from just above bicycle
speeds at times :)

Bought my current one, an '86 gasoline, when I was 28 living in Germany.  It
was a florida car actually, I bought it from someone in the military.  I had
it shipped back.  It has been off the road for awhile, but we took the
engine out this winter and did a ton of work...should be back in action
soon....

If I could have that diesel back it would be great, that van just had a good
vibe.  This one is a ton nicer, but just doesn't have that same personality
yet...probably b/c I haven't actually lived in it.  Funny how they can
become 'home'
