How many have fully independent front and rear suspensions? If they have them now why did it take em so long? Pop tops to sleep 4 adults? stove and fridge? they haul 4x8 sheets? Hows the turning radius? hate making 3pt U turns. Oh, and I can pull the engine with a 2x4 truss and rebuild it all by my self in a weekend. Can I put in an engine mod and get over 20mpg too? cuz I know gas will soon be $5. GM and Ford are HUGE players, and it takes em 4 ever to finally figure stuff out. Like the Corvette how long did it take em to copy the 1978 924 Porsche design? (20years) Thats about what I'll give ya..."two stars" BAH! Geez Recardo if it really hurts that much for you to own your vanagon there's always Zoloft. I also hear good stuff about St John's wort perhaps you and stan can go in on a case? (grinning again)
