greetings. i've now driven 1,500 miles since getting my newly rebuilt van back 2 wks ago, and i must say i'm very happy with the smooth performance (aside from an initially disappointing total loss of power at one point, but then i joyfully realized that i was an idiot and ran out of gas because we were just going down the road so well and i hadn't felt like stopping). i'm confident that we're now ready for a real trip, so i'll be driving from michigan through ontario to vermont saturday to pick up friends in burlington, then possibly onward to maine. if you see a white high-top air-cooled vanagon with a bearded young man and beaded seats inside, it's probably us. good spirit, matthew and mobius (81 adventurewagen) ps - i think that mobius is kind of like a turtle with its home on its back and its appropriate pace, and i don't usually like stickers, but if anyone sees a cool turtle sticker for the window i'd gladly send you $$ to send it to me.
