Same here. I REALLY like my bus and I would WANT to jump on a good VW
deal...but I LOVE my wife and family. If it weren't for Kristy, I'd go
crazy and buy 3, 4, or maybe even 5 old buses and park them along the
street and in the yard (I know other list members have managed to avoid
this obsession ;). She puts a nice sanity check into the equation. In the
end, all that matters are the living things. We buy these things to enjoy
with the people we love.
And yes, Kristy's already agreed that a splittie would be nice 8).
