i always dissuade young people from buying vanagons..    they have this
delusion that they are cheap and easy to maintain, and their  parents buy them
a vw camper and they usually dont have the wherewithal or  finances to keep
them up and end up running them into the ground or having to  sell them at
the first problem that arises.


no shops around here even work on vanagons anymore, and the VW  specific
shops have lost their old timer aircooled and  vanagon mechanics and the young
mechanics dont know how to work on anything  that doesn't have OBD 2.


i just tell the young retro-hippsters to get a toyota sienna  and ziptie a
vw emblem on the grille.
