So Joel Walker tripped over a possum and regurgitated: > > >Yes, but at what cost?!!

Especially the ones that are for emission control which we all know is mostly a form of consumer blackmail. Especially here in California where the fees are beyond ridiculus. Then, the cost for a new car is outrageous when the above stated 'improvements' start to fail as was further stated by another poster. Joel, being a vanagon owner should understand this difference quite well considering the cost he's put into at least a couple of those beasties. Steven sjohnson@pcocd2.intel.com
