Hey, Just a great story to share that happened to me over the weekend. Over my Christmas break I started pricing VW vans hoping to find one but I had no luck and had to go back to school. Within the last two weeks, I found out about this list and have been reading the posts getting excited about all of the for sale notices. I finally found on with the help of Sean Bartnik that was for sale in Va for a reasonable price. I talked to my father this weekend, he was visiting from NH, and told him that I had found a van that I was interested in. He looked a bit uncomfortable, and said that he wanted to call my mom and have me talk to her about it. Well, it turns out that since February, there has been a 1987 Vanagon Weekender in the driveway that was supposed to be a big surprise for me when I got home in May. I couldn't believe it. You got to love great parents. I'm now a proud owner! Looking forward to driving it for the first time in 30 days :)
