When I first got my Vanagon I didnt have a name. My sister passed away at
23 and had a 2 year old daughter at that time. My parents adopted her and
she is now my little sister. as she got older she liked my van and even
showed an interest in wanting it when she got older. I said sure and told
her she could name it. She named it Victor. Fast forward 13 years later,
she is now 15 and still wants Victor. I am trying to get her out there to
work on him with me which is a challenge but I think shell come around if
she wants to be the new owner!! I am probably one of the few guys that has
a guy name for a vehicle, but I like it because it is unique just like the
owners of Vanagons. It definitely takes a certain kind of person to be a
Vanagoner!!
