Found while skimming VW Vanagon forum (TheSamba.com)

[T.Low]

I like to skim TheSamba.com for van camper tips etc...and of course some of you know I do like the Vanagon, but just couldn't get myself to buy a VW. I think I've posted 15 or 20 times on that site over the last year and a half.

Tonite I found this and got a kick out of it (even though he goes on to list reasons why he likes his Vanagon Syncro over his Astro, but thats fine.) I laughed out loud and even though its nothing you guys didn't already know, thought you might get a chuckle out of it , too.

"Yeah, that almost describes our Chevy Astro Van.

Our Astro does almost everything better than our Syncro; it is way faster, quieter, more comfortable and more (although not 100%) reliable. I consider the Astro to be a very fast moving appliance that can haul lots of stuff and tow a good sized load. With airbags... That guy who posts here with the lifted 4WD poptop Astro is definitely on the right track. "

What's you talking about Wilis??.

I never even thought of our vans as being in the same church or pew as a Volks.
