Hello Eric,
Two things got me back.  Fun and the need to have a closed vehicle with plenty
of room to move things from my Macon, GA, home to my DeLand, FL, without need to
hire movers.  New van like my first Vanagon is stick-shift.  An immediate
objective is to teach my Son how to drive a vehicle with stick shift.  He will
be 21 on 6/23 so I don't have much time to make sure I have taught him all the
things he needs to know.
John
