  Shoot, it was three, no four years ago the 300k milestone got passed in my
94 Ford Diesel truck, which I would probably still drive daily if it weren't
for that spike in diesel fuel prices a few years back.  That spike caused me
to "re-discover" the VW Van, and though the old F250 4X4 still lumbers down
the road without much fuss, I now prefer the Vanagon for all but my heavy
towing duties and really poor road conditions.
  That one turned 300 thousand miles on the East Cape of Baja..
