I guess he was not a vanagon lover like us.  I once did 80 mph on I95 and 
people were still on my butt trying to pass.

No matter how fast you are going, they still have to pass.  I guess they
can not stand the sight of a bigger vehicle in front of them going the same
speed.

I drove 120 miles a day commuting in a vanagon for four months.  I then got
a rabbit convertible, a rabbit truck and a GTI.  I have not gotten around
to getting a jetta yet.  My brother-in-law bought a 95 jetta last month but 
I have not "borrowed" it yet.  Maybe at the next autocross. ;-)
