Well, I should have listened to that little voice in my head, telling
me not to lend her the van, but she's been asking me for eight years
now and she asked so nicely and I love her.....sniff, sniff. They are
fine and it looks like their biggest loss might be a day's worth of
Burning Man. For now their spirits are super high and she tells me
that they've had lots of laughs.....what? Anyone from this community
who wants to pipe in with parts, advice or inspiration, I can be
reached at 970-903-8087. I have already emailed all the local Rescue
Squad guys and I feel pretty damned good about it. It's a bit hard
when it's your daughter, as you might know or imagine. I did welcome
her to the Vanagon way of life. Funny thing......I've lost count of
how many Vanagons I've owned, 2wd and otherwise, and you might have
guessed how many times I took these kids out on Vanagon road trips
(since 1987) and broken down. Zero times. Yup, zero, and the first
time I send her out there with one of the fleet, poof! Of course, some
kind of unforeseen failure may well be the cause, but that doesn't
change the fact that it's Dad 0, Bonni 1! Thanks for any help.
