Hi, Ray. I stopped by to see the Mystery Machine at your place just before your daughter went to UAB in it. I was in my yellow westy. I still see her around here on weekends, and we always exchange waves! I have pictures of this most excellent-looking vanagon if anyone wants to see them. And John, there aren't too many vanagons around north Alabama but I usually get a wave from them.
