Yea, brethren, I say unto you I have BEEN to Pulaski and I have SEEN the elephant, er, the Vanagons. The Westies are there, but not in great numbers. I did not count them but there must be at least a dozen or so, possibly in numbers that reflect their true percentage of distribution in Vanagon production.
And he does have them roughly color-coded in parking layout. No photoshop done there unless he also got to my eyeballs during my visit.
