Both of the individuals I bought my VDubs from did NOT have the fortitude to put up with this nonsense...

Is there a word, other than "mad" to describe this condition? I think "practical" fits the bill...

Practical to a fault..we serve these little utilitarian vehicles because what they do for us that had not been invented in really any other vehicle...

A simplicity to a lot of the components with a complexity in our ability to procure parts sometimes :-)

What better to transport my family of 8 yet work on pretty much all on my own...self reliance is certainly a part of it as well...
