Subject:      Overheating Vanagon DRIVER, Not Engine Anymore
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

A special Westfalia thanks to Don, Jim, Fred, Marcus, Jeff, Bill (did ya
get my check?), and GM for the skinny on why I like to drive around with
the heater blasting. Driving around with the whole family, dogs and cat
sweating/panting buckets seems to me a small and worthy price to pay for
engine longevity.

So, is the Vanagon temp. guage more sensitive than most other autos? I
don't recall my VW Jetta's needle moving that much or that fast when I
crank the heat in it. Same goes for my Mitsubishi Montero. That's the
real puzzler to me.

It looks like it'll be a long, hot summer in the pilot's seat! (just
kidding)

So, if you see a naked Westfalia-load of Alaskans stopped at Ye Olde
Local Ice Cream Shoppe for a cool-down, c'mon over and say "Hi".

Thanks again Volks!
