People - I was talking about reliability here - not performance...
there is NO DOUBT that the Automatics hold up better, and last longer than

IF I WANT A LOW 0-60 TIME, I WILL BUY A FORMULA ONE RACER...
Vanagons are big metal un-aerodynamic lousy coefficient wind drag boxes on
wheels....
not race cars...

but then again, how much krap/camping gear, etc. can you fit into a Formula
