Hey folks....volks.... yolks...whatever...

Could you possibly run down a basic list of stuff (just stuff in general) that
I really need to have my German car mechanic fix, as opposed to stuff I can
have Ricardo down at the corner repair shop do for me...??? (Or direct me to
where such a list exists...If I've overlooked it)

I'm looking forward to learning how to change the oil, so I don't suspect I'll
be ready for many self-repair projects any time soon, and I'd like to start
figuring out how to economize where I can. It appears from what I've seen on
this list, that I'm gonna need to be saving my money, but I don't want to,
what's that saying? Cut off my nose to spite my face? Something like that.

Hey, someone's gotta be the token newbie, and it may as well be someone who
doesn't know crap about cars, much less Vanagons...right!!?? Any tips would be
appreciated.

(And all you old guys can stop rolling your eyes and saying "Je-sus" right
now, you hear me?) (And I'll have none of those "How many Kristin's does it
take to screw in a light bulb jokes either!)

Um.. Thanks...

:o) Kristin
