Bro the Vanagon has cult following in auto-x circles. Have you done ANY research before joining out site and begging for help?

If you had, you'd know that the Vanagon was originally designed as a pure racing machine but was instead marketed to traveling families.

Don't let it fool you though, it's truly at home on the track.

Also, this way, you can sleep in it at events/beside picturesque lakes.

Whatever you currently own or can beg/borrow/rent/steal.
