I sense a bit of competition here :-)

Here in my neighborhood there is about 1 Vanagon or Eurovan per block.
The block size is about 8 houses long and 2 houses wide.

There are more Vanagon, Vanagon Westies than Eurovans though.

I am in Oregon. Pacific NW, BC, and San Francisco must have the highest
Vanagon/Eurovan per capita.

We are blessed with an unusually large number of Vanagons here on
Vancouver Island, but today I saw perhaps the highest percentage of them
in one spot (except maybe in Nelson...) While out for a hike in East
Sooke park at Aylard Farm, we came back to no less than 7 Westys in the
parking lot, out of a total of maybe 25-30 vehicles. 3 EVs, 4 Vanagons,
but all Westys, and one was even a very nice Diesel Vanagon (drool...).
Once again, proving that Westy drivers know all the cool places to
visit. The only down part of the day was that we were driving our
Jetta... :-(
