Hi Everyone, I'd like to apologize for my "wallace" response last week and offer an explanation. I followed the instructions to unsubscribe from the list and received confirmation from the server (see below) that I was unsubscribed before turning on my out of office notice. I regret any inconvenience. Since my Vanagon experience pales in comparison to the majority of contributors on this list I would like to add my sincerest appreciation for the collective wisdom (and occasional jokes) that this list provides. This list has been a huge resource for me in guiding my thoughts and decisions on how to create a strong reliable vehicle capable of taking my family anywhere we want to go.
