While planning our trip around New England later in the year, it
occurred to me that with the age of our vans, it would be nice to
have a list of service shops that can help us out in a pinch.

So, I thought why not get a list of v@v listmember recommended shops
and compile them at a web site.  I threw together some html (could
still be buggy...lemme know), including a form where you can submit
the ones you like.  The idea is that it'll be on one page so you can
print it out and shove it in your glovebox with your LiMBO TTT guide
(if you don't know what that is, go to my website and find the LiMBO
link).  This would have helped when the ECU crapped out 100 miles
from our house.

It only has one listing right now...the shop where our van is right
now (and has worked on her before).  I have to add them by hand after
the form sends me an e-mail, so your input will not show up right
away.

If this has been done before or you think it's a dumb idea, just slap
me around and I'll quit.  Perhaps if it proves worthwhile and when it
stabilizes, I'll give it to Coyote to put on vanagon.com.
