Lori Krampetz of Portland, Oregon has owned, for several
years, one of the VW Vanagon's used as T.C.'s van in the
MPI series. She now wishes to sell it. Here are some
of its details, directly from Lori:

"It is a 1983 Vanagon VW, water cooled, fuel injected,
and about 15 mi per gallon average for this size and
make and year of car. The mechanics are sound, engine
rebuilt 2 years ago, 1 1/2 years ago the transmission,
clutch and brakes were done, it passes smog tests in
California and Oregon (both stringent tests), I maintain
it with regular tune ups etc...., it has ~145K on the
rebuilt. It does well in cold weather, mountains, and
long x-country drives (coast to coast). The body has
some rust spots maybe 6 the size of a quarter (at max),
the paint is a bit faded. The interior is average for
a well used car of 15 years. I would like to get 6k
for it because of its sound mechanics and novelty
value, but I would like a different vehicle so I would
compromise on price."

You know, we hear a lot about people who want to
renegotiate their contracts. But they don't
renegotiate them *downward*. There's no "I had a
bad year. I'll take less." That used to happen,
by the way. Al Kaline...went in about the time
Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were making $100,000
a year. And [the Tigers] said, "Look, Al, this is
embarrassing. You're worth as much to us as they
are. We're going to pay you $100,000 next year."
And Al says, "I don't want it. I didn't have a
good enough year."
