Contrary to what Gowesty states…..hee hee my little jab there…..

 

#20     

Chicken S#*#^ Brown Interiors are easier to keep clean than Pansy Grey. (Remember you bought the van to camp in.)

 

#19     

You can actually see the road with the round headlights at night.

 

#18     

They can have a real middle seat, instead of the turned around get car sick jump seat/ mother-in-law seats.

 

#17     

1.9 liter motors don’t throw a rod like a 2.1

 

#16     

Cheaper on the market so you have more money to spend on the same problems a Square headlight van will have.

 

#15     

Coolant hoses are easier/ simpler to change including the metal coolant pipes. Most don’t have a bleeder valve that doesn’t work anyway. I.e. useless. And if you don’t like coolant you could get it air-cooled!!!

 

#14     

Some even came with Diesels, how cool is that and most Diesel owners fill their van up by marking their calendar.

 

#13     

You can get a Wolfberg GL model with a Stove and a Frig.

 

#12     

With round headlights you are halfway done on converting the grill to a cool South African look. Meanwhile “squares” are looking on Ebay for lights.

 

#11     

You can drive across the country with antique car tags on your van, while it is more reliable than any soccer mom SUV will ever be in 20 plus years.

 

#10

(Bonus for you Vanagon Geeks)Use can use a Digitool with a Digijet system and not have the Digifant (Idle Stabilization Valve) trouble.

 

#9       

( Another Bonus for you Vanagon Geeks out there) Round headlights don’t have the plastic inserts in the coolant system that are time activated for you summer vacation to go bad.

 

#8       

1.9 Liter rebuilds are cheaper to obtain because they have an intact      

crankcase (See #4)

 

#7       

Later model “squares” came with an updated transmissions, that have updated gears that don’t break. The point is moot with a van with 200,000 plus miles on it don’t ya think? So it doesn't mater what year model you have.

 

#6         

Some “squares” could come with a Syncro conversion so you can really stick your van in the mud and give it body damage….when’s the last time you really needed a 4x$   …the $ wasn’t a typo by the way.

 

#5       

You could get a solid yellow, two –tone or metallic with real metal        

bumpers. Instead of the take out a loan and go to the dealer fiberglass  

bumpers.

 

#4       

Most rounds have the bottom sag that gives it the cool West Coast Bling-Bling look.

 

 

#3       

Didn’t come with Power Mirrors , when is the last time you really adjusted your mirror.

 

#2       

They didn’t come with Power Windows that are rain activated not to roll up during a sudden monsoon.

 

#1       

And the the number one reason round headlight Vanagons are  

better…………1.9 liter heads leak just as good as the 2.1 liter heads

 

 

Thank ya ….thank ya……verrrrrrrrrry much….van-elvis has the building……..hey ya got a jelly donut…..pass the mass taters…….mam ……thank ya…..
