<div align="left">Alas, a sad day for me has arrived.&nbsp; Very sad, I was so bummed out it has taken me two weeks to get to the point where I can write this email....
  <br />
</div>
<p align="left">So, after 187,400 miles, the ATF cooler failed on my beloved 1991 Carat.&nbsp; Still running and I **could** drive it, but the damage is done.
</p>
<p align="left">Anyone want to make me an offer?&nbsp; At a minimum, I have the GoWesty 15" wheels and tires (about 40K miles on them and the tread is STILL very, very good!).&nbsp; This was/is the best money I spent on my dear Vanagon.
</p>
<p align="left">My Vanagon is located in Palm Beach County, Florida, ZIP 33437.&nbsp; Anyone want to make me an offer?
</p>
<p align="left">Finally, as GoWesty.com states, if you haven't changed that ATF cooler, DO IT NOW!
</p>
<p align="left">With the looming $4.00/gallon gas price, my move to NC and need to do some commuting, I cannot justify (read that as: the wife says "Get rid of it") repairing my dear Vanagon.
</p>
<p align="left">I'll try to get some pics posted so you can see the Carat -- it's the VW White color FYI.
</p>
<p align="left">Best of luck to one and all!
