Im right there with you man! Nothing wrong with it.

Being up here in VT Im pretty sure Im the only vanner in my area. Every time I see one buried in the woods on CL I feel like its my mission to save it from the crusher cause no one else will. If I had unlimited funds and time Id buy every one.

There was an early Chevy a mile from my house and it was very hard not to go buy it. I know of 3 others that have just been sitting on CL not selling. Anytime I see one worth saving in the back of my head I think "How can I swing this?" Theres been a 73 Dodge out here that's been for sale for ever cause no one wants it and the guy wont crush it. I already have 1 mid dodge waiting in the wings for resto. But what would I do with another? But i want to see it back on the road or in a vanner's hands so bad. Its always a balance between what you want and the reality of actually having it.

Keep looking, the hunt is half the fun.

I do look when adds get posted here.
I really do not go looking.
I never visit the "For Sale" section on VCVC
It is like some body who just completed the 12 step program.
You do not go into a bar even if it is a restaurant.
I know if I stumble across some thing I really wanted I would find a way to get it.
It is better for me NOT to temp my self.

I AM ADDICTED TO CUSTOM VANS and the life style that goes with it.
It is the best "addiction" one can have

.........Wookee



Its a "Van Thing"
A life style you have to LIVE to understand!

I look at the local Craigslist everyday for vans. I think of it as window shopping. It's addictive as hell.
