OK, I give up - what's the big deal with white buses?  The gent we bought our
white 86 Syncro from was really into them, and here all I hear is how rare they
are in the US - apparently everywhere else in the world got them instead :-) ?
Growing up I thought all VW buses were white, but I lived in Florida...

I prefer Titan Red or deep blue on the V'gon, but what the heck do I know?  The
white will certainly stay cooler, though.  And it'll show off the, umm, artwork
my wife has planned :-)
