In my recent forays into the Auto yards, I mostly see intact Vanagons, or
Burnt Vanagons. I do not see many, if at all, Crunched Vanagons... Bugs,
Ghias, and Bays are a different story...
My .02 worth.

As for my wife, She got me into VW's and regrets it ever since. She
approves of, and will ride in my Vanagon though... Lots of room for Kids &
Dogs.
