  Thanks for telling me that about Napa,

As for sitting in the back and driving, I actually let Josh drive
sometimes too. Its kind of a treat we exchange, makes you feel like
your being chauffeaured about. Plus our son has a booster that is
more secure when held down with the shoulder belt, ever since he got
to ride upfront with me when he and I did ouor first mom and sono trip
to Cali to see Josh's band he ALWAYS want to be fronot seat rider. So
both Josh and I get to be driven around someetimes.

I will go check with Napa about where to send the oil, especially
since Josh told me this am that when the mechanic told him the engine
was going, he also said we could probably sell it for about 15, josh
said 15 000 as is, and he said 1500. I had not heard that before and
now I know he is scamming us.

If anyone knows of a trustworthy VW mechanic in Vancouover BC I could
take her to for a second opinion?
No matter what my final decision I am not scrapping her, or handing
her over for $1500. I have spent more than that on her in the last 5
months between electrical, brakes, joints, steering pump, on, n,
on....

For that matter I could always plug her corpse in and rent her out to
an Aussie .. housing in my area is quite difficult to find and with
the olympics coming.... A VW van is way nicer than a sauna you pay
$400 to share with your mate! lol.

The sun has arrived,
my yard is visible.. oh yeah!

Cheers Sabra
91 blue van (C.P.)

btw if anyone is thinking of coming this way for the olympics you can
always park and plug at our place, got lots of space...you just might
have to help shovel the driveway if it snows.
