Hmmmmmm.  Gee, I wear these clod-hopper boots (and sometimes dress boots)
most of the time when I'm driving my Fox and I can seem to find the pedals
OK - no accidents yet.


As far as build quality - I musta got one of da good ones.


I will admit that a person with longer legs than mine would probably have
some difficulty in the driver leg-room department.


As far as resale value, I'll probably never will sell it.  If it got
totaled tomorrow, I'd buy it back from the insurance company for the engine
and CIS at least.  Never know what swap I may wanna do with the next
Vanagon I buy.


Quirky and build quality - sounds like an Air Cooled Vanagon I useta own.
Glad I got rid of that "jinx".  Luv my Wasser.  And my Fox.


Cheers :-)
