TK, RC, TK, RC, TK, How many times do I have to say this, You're on the wrong lists. Sign off all the VW Vanagon Lists immediatley. Retool your workshop and convert your upper bunk steps, stainless coolant lines, bright light bulbs and other assorted merchandise over to Sportspmobile & Astro Van platforms. You'll be so much happier as you wizz down, "or is it" wizz alongside the road at 85 mph. Leave us poor VW Van Lovers in peace with our Smell the Roses rides :) good road, good adventure, larry chase roadhaus.com - - - Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 08:27:57 -0500 From: Robert Cardo <rrecardo@WEBTV.NET> Subject: Re: How much fuel efficiency gained by shedding 300 lbs? << I like poking along on two lane roads, smelling the crops and stopping at will. I feel sorry for the drones ripping down the highway at 85mph in their suv's, tinted windows and A/C keeping the real world at a distance.> This line really has me PIMPLMAO Maybe the "drone's" are laughing at the rolling box, unable to keep up with traffic at any normal speed especially with the AC on ( if it works, which in a show of hands usually doesn't ) Some folks have smelled the roses already, done the crop check, stopped for lunch, and a pee call, and need to get to where their going without fear of blowing the ride up at 85 mph. What we have here is a case of acute jealousy. They can. You can't. Wave as they blow by you next time. |
