Didn't Toyota make a horrid little Van in the 80's that was rear wheel drive? I think you had to remove the drivers seat to check the oil. Why not get one of those for your spare parts venture? _________________ Fat chick owner/operator |

I would have guessed Roadcow had made an appearance in the forums, but a search (of just titles) didn't yield any results. _________________ Dave Cook

However, it's interesting that, after a few years, he ended up wanting a Vanagon with Subie power! _________________ Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
