I have been hanging out in Maine a lot lately, & for all the rarity
of vanagon sittings on the right coast, I have seen at least a half a
dozen vanagons in the little college town of Farmington, ME.
BTW, on 10/22/07 in Farmington, it was +88 degrees in said cold spot.
YMMV,
Tom B.-global warming is gonna make Seattle like Phoenix?
