Dear vanagonitera who can not wait til Friday and apologies to MODs Average shelf life of a North American ceo is reported to be less than 2 years - please don't bring up the outlier long term ones - this is an average meaning there are a few at the top and bottom and a whole bunch in the less than 2 year bracket - the resignation or high turn over is not daily news and often only followed by people interested in the company- the brand or that particular Ceo

This is not in any way Vanagon related of course - simply has to do with the brand which is also not really us as most VW dealer do not have a clue about a Vanagon

Regards
