Still photographs? How can you be sure they are moving? I have seen pictures of syncro vanagons apparently flying off of sand dunes with a 75 degree incline! I own one, and I don't think so. It may not be my father's Volkswagen, but it's still just a 2.1L flat four that's already hauling 4000 pounds around. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Alan. Happy just carrying my own weight.
