I concur, drive it home. if you have a real issues..... I'm right of I-5 near the bottom of Oregon, with vanagons and parts of all sorts. If you have a problem, and you get here, there's a huge chance we can keep you going just fine. Scott www.turbovans.com

and hey ......if you have time, stop there in Yreka, ( if going on I-5 ) and check out that VW junkyard looking place that is right next to I-5, on the east side, in Yreka, Ca. Not sure if I have ever stopped in there as it looks to be mainly old air-cooed stuff ..... but if you stop in there, give us a report on what they have vanagon wise ......and maybe I can get by there , as I'm delivering parts in that direction soon.
