You laugh, but there's a guy I know in Truth or Consequences, NM that bought a vanagon for his deli business. When he picked it up it would only go in reverse. He said that he drove it home (a few miles) that way and almost got it there when he was stopped by a cop. He got off easy and was allowed to get it down the street to his home. I thought this was hilarious when my friend told me this.
