The Fabulous Fishing Van, which some of you here have had the extreme
misfortune of traveling Pennsylvania's backroads in, no longer resides in my
driveway. In contrast to its predecessor, the Fishing Car, which literally
burst into flames to end its days of service, the van is still alive and
(sort of) well. Nephew, who is ever short of resources, needed a vehicle, so
I sold the van to him for a buck. Given its condition, that would
approximate its Blue Book valuation. Now, I have to start a search for
another dilapidated vehicle with which to bang around Penn's valley in.

Howsabout a mid-80s Mercedes diesel station wagon? I've seen 'em for under 2
grand US, they run on diesel or vegetable oil/biodiesel, and if you change the
oil and don't run 'em dry, they are good for at least 3-400K miles with little
other maintenance.
