| Thank you. yeah when i was first looking at vw vans two years ago i didnt like the vanagon bodies. i wanted what everyone wants a split window. but when i found this one i figured i could still make it awesome. when i lower it and get some nice wheels for it it will be even better |

| My dad had 84 Vanagon. That thing was the shit. I'd pile all my friends in and head to the beach. Boards and all. Got my first ticket in it, racing a Datsun 510. |

What do you mean "not as cool"? I half expected to see a pic of an old Dasher! The van is nice.
