Help save our marriage: my husband would love to buy a Vanagon (86-91
watercooled Westie), even though neither of us has ever driven or ridden in
one. (His parents owned VW busses beginning in 1959--my parents read
Consumer Reports and owned Dodge Darts.) I'm happy to give it a try, but
it's obviously going to take a lot of time and effort to find a good one,
and I'm not willing to make that kind of investment until I know that I
would at least enjoying driving and riding in one.

As you can see from my signature file, I am a certified Responsible Person.
(You can even check the ASU website for my photo and vita!) Is there anyone
locally who would be willing to take us for a drive for an hour, so I can
see what it feels like to ride in one and what it feels like to drive one?
It would be a real service to us. Thanks for your help.
