When we see you in SD, you will have to ask Lisa about the "stress test" trip I put the Vanagon through after I got it running again after it sat for a decade and the gas turned to turpentine.
Elements of that trip included, Charles Kuralt famed most beautiful drive in America, an 11,000 foot pass, possible bed bugs, CV joint failure and I think but not sure, the guy who played the banjo in Deliverance.
