I just love Vanagon adventures where we see that a Vanagon or Westy went to
lots of scenic places. The only thing wrong is that it looks like they
forgot to take any people with them on their trips.
It seems purely selfish on the part of the Vanagons.
I think the Garden Gnomes have a much better go of it and more than often
get photographed with people.
I see Ed's van is proud of him and got him into the picture.

I am putting together a short bit about Vanagons in the media (will
post soon) and came across this gem from earlier this fall:

Hartford Advocate "My Ride"

Ed Gonzalez, 27
Home: Hartford
Occupation: Bartender
Ride: 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon

Ed, you on the list? I didn't see a message about this...

Read his Q & A ("How much in work have you put into it?" ... "And you
were able to fit the whole exhaust system in the back of your van,
right?") and catch the pic:
