So true Eric. After talking with you about the Karma thing, I was offered $400.00 for my alloy wheels and 2 sets of tires that I no longer use. I gave them to the vanagon person for $250.00. And I felt very good about the deal and putting those wheels and tires back on the road.

Yes,
I’ve so enjoyed it when I’ve noticed a vanagon visitor needing something I had in reserve. Utility door, wiper caps, hub caps, and more, all back in service.
I try to keep useful spares but when someone else needs it first, I figure it is time to share. And, the VW kindness flows back 10 fold.
Before our busses became so darn expensive, and the parts as well, sharing and gifting back and forth happened all the time. I appreciate it when the spirit still happens.
These busses and their people have great karma.

I'm wondering, would it be possible to get it I to the hands of someone in New York that is possibly traveling west, even one state, and then someone else etc to make its way across the country. It's arrival destination is Washington state.
