well put,, as they say S))) happens and so we still drive these vans, with repairs/questions and
all kinds of interesting things happening.

Back in the day i remeber the hard nosed VW shop, aka OL'DUDE totaly burned out to the
crisp, would get POSTAL on a tranny nut just because it would be hard to break loose. why
get mad? anger is really not good. or if something was not just right blow a rod inside his head

Then only charge me 20bucks to fill a tranny check somethings. but if my 6volt would not start
he would say get that thing outta here :) not even helping me push it out.. LOL ohh the LOVE all the
way you look at it.. hehe

Take it slow all, this list does have LIFE

Joe
