Breakdown Story 1
Breakdowns happen... We all know this. I often tell people that some of my best travel stories start off with a breakdown happening. This is one of those stories.

REVIEW: SPOT Trace GPS Tracker
I never knew how often Vanagons got stolen til I began seeing all of the "STOLEN VAN" announcements that were being posted on Facebook and thesamba.com. Granted those were mainly in the Pacific Northwest and I'm located in Texas but still! It really freaked me out and I was/am totally paranoid by it. Lol.

Vanagon Kick Plate Overhaul
When I bought my '87 VW Vanagon Westfalia back in August 2013 it had a few things that immediately made it on my list of things to change and/or work on. One of them being doing something with the gaping hole in the bench seat kick plate that used to house a subwoofer sometime ago. My first inclination was to install a larger 10" sub in place of the 8" sub it was originally built for. In the preparation for the Colorado 2015 trip I've come to the realization that every little bit of storage space counts and I've since decided against adding a subwoofer in that spot and use it at storage space instead.
