lol.
right on.
but how do they stop them, if they're not there.
nobody posts drunk do they ?
everybody knows to think carefully before clicking on 'send' ..right !!
learned that one the hard way, one could say.
I think something's been weird lately ..either the change of seasons, or
elections, or sunspots or general concern about the craziness of the
species.
now if they would all just enjoy Vanagons things would be a lot better.
speaking of ...

84 L model, near pristene two tone blue and cream white, Nice simple basic
van, no AC, no PS, 4 speed.
82 sunroff diesel vanagon ....freshly rebuilt engine, 124K totla miles, so
ding-free it belongs in a museum.
83 rare sunroof 5 speed diesel vanagon, no rust, runs, rebuilt 1.6 TD

van as a project.
87 Wolfsburg, ...the first Carat madel. Silver. Factory lower springs,
alloys, 3 dented areas ...extra sporty van, no rust. Jump seat, fold out
table, rear Z bed ...a super likeable model for a non-camper.
