My 1972 bus crapped out the first time I decided to go look at a Vanagon
(aircooled-sunroof).  It got really ignorant about it, so I got a 1981
Westy and I am now stripping the 1972 for parts (which I would not have
done if it had not quit running).  Karma indeed - life is a circle, and
what comes around goes around.  The Vanagon Westy is a much better vehicle
than the old busted bus.  Somedays you get the bus, some days the bus gets
you...  ;)
