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.

              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.  ;-)

it had not run for over 3 years. Lonnie and other good friends, not to forget

the engine. My thanks goes to Lonnie and the rest of them.
