Alright, alright, I've gotten several comments about this "out of stock"
comment on the link.  1st, its BRAND NEW.  2nd, the stock was only placed on
the shelf late yesterday and the photo taken around 4:45.  Updates like that
can take time.  Our inventory status is updated daily, sometimes 3 times a
day if the web master has the time to run it - we're not "LIVE" because the
server's off-site.

When I ran the "shameless plug", they had just been placed on the receiving
table to be checked into stock.

If you go to the link this morning, it will show In Stock.  The photo of it
will appear probably later on today.

I now return you to your regular Vanagon programming ;-)
