In all actuallity, I prefer to work on the splitty busses. Vanagons are a pain
to work on. (and we own 2 of them, I just don't fit behind the steering wheel
of a split.)

Ed, you're taking it way too seriously. It's not real animosity. It's like
you're a fan of the Cowboys or the Steelers. One isn't really better than the
other, you're just fans of different teams. I don't dislike Dan Martin because
he drives a Bay, that's stupid. I drive a Splitty. We dig at each other
sometimes, but we both act like Mark is bad because he drives a Vanagon. Chuck
has a '65 (?) and digs at me for owning a '63 that he says is a tractor because
it has so few parts.
Duncan drives a Vanagon with a Subaru motor in it, Where the hell does he
belong? Trey drives a Eurovan and it's really hard not to shake his tree.
Lighten up or you'll be real unhappy.

Actually I would love to know the reason for the snobbery, I just dont get it.
I have owned Beetles, Busses, Vanagons, a Rabbit, a Scirocco and a Passat and
loved them all.
Whats the deal?

If you water people keep poking the the Splitty people, one of us is going to
get irritated enough to explain to you about our snobbery, so just shut up
about it. I have been biting my tongue and gritting my teeth so far...
As far as pulling up next to another VW at a light or something and them not
reacting, I have often wondered about how you can see an old Bug or Bus
(usually a bay) drive by and the question is, are they enthusiasts or just
driving an old car. For the ones driving an old car they are probably pretty
cranky that they can't afford anything newer, so, technically, they are
anti-enthusiasts.
And if they are in Texas, but are having to live in Texas, well, that could
make them cranky, too.

Driving a split is more like flying a kite than driving a vehicle.
I enjoy flying kites.

I must say I do admire you guys who are willing to drive splitties. I drove my

into my Bay!!!

Not sure where you got that idea from!
I know I drive a good vehicle, no inferiority here.
I am just curious why some splitty drivers seem so snobby !

No worries. I am just amazed that there are so many that don't see that they
are all related and you can keep this great hobby alive without both air and
water. Yeah there are a lot of air cooled out there, I have 2 air projects
myself, but they ain't making them anymore. My Vanagon makes 2 water cooled
projects as well. John

It's more about poking fun at people who drive bricks that should be found in
foundation walls vs. Vintage aircooleds; not about animosity. ;-)

Yeah, someone with my sense of humor. Mark and I are going to see the
traveling Star Wars in Concert show at the end of October, here at the Toyota
Center. I am so excited. Anthony Daniels (CP-3O) is supposed to be the
narrator for the concert. Also there is supposed to be diplays of costumes and
artifacts from all 6 movies. I know, I know. I am a Star Wars geek. But I
don't care.
I will always believe in The Force.

I am exited! Today after work I went to Lonnie's house and changed the belts on
my 86 Westy and then drove her home to my house approx. 18 miles down the
highway! While to most of you may thing less than 20 miles is no big deal,
remember I got this VW less than a month ago and it had not run for over 3
years. Lonnie and other good friends, not to forget my father, helped her back
into running shape with just 2 Saturdays to work on the engine. My thanks goes
to Lonnie and the rest of them.

p.s. Paul, it looks like you will have another one at T@P6 ! I just won't know
for sure until I pull in the lot. LOL
