( But, the Vanagon list are among my "loved ones" !!! :o)
( & I mean that most sincere )
( I beleive this list is more than changing brake fluid. Am I off base here? )
Hi Jim & All,
Ya I know Jim, and my apologies!
I guess I should have put the NVC disclaimer in there,
But then I thought
about all of the people that do travel in their Vanagons
and do spend a lot of time in their Vanagons.
Safety, to me is part of the Vanagon experience as well.
My worry, was leaving the "women" part in the subject line?
I don't mean to discriminate against anyone by gender.
Everyone, male or female, needs to be careful,
I know.
But then as the statisticians out there
will probably tell you, women, it seems to me
get the brunt of abuse in this ole world?
I could be wrong.
Survival of the species sez if your weaker in any way,
physically, mentally, financially, weaponry, (or only having 87 HP :o)
It seems there will be someone or something
that will capitalize on the situation.
So, that said, If I have offended anyone, I'm sorry.
Weather from gender references
Or lack of "vanagon" content.
It behooves us all to hang tight as a group.
Watch each others' backs,
weather on the highways
or in the towns
or in our own homes.
Or in our Vanagons (thar ya go :o)
best to all,
John C...
