What color is your bus?

Since, I have the brown (turd) VW color.  I had thought about calling it
Turd based on the color and the smell of old cigars on the inside.  I even
spoke with a women at work who is fluent in German and asked her the
translation of many words along the same topic.  She gave me a list, however
most of them were to complex for me to remember.

So if it is brown, keep the name and maybe forget the acronym part.

85 Westy Tardis (probably unoriginal, but my dad use to watch Dr. Who and he
commented that the thing was like the Tardis (Time and Relative Dimension in
Space) on Dr. Who.  Looked kind of crappy from the outside but was much
larger and nicer on the inside.  I think I have that right, there is one
thing I just can't do and that is the SCI. FI stuff, just doesn't interest
me ).

  I believe that the "U" should just stand for unpredictable

    The TURD is starting to reject her name.  As many of you know, the TURD
is
    an acronym for Totally Unreliable Recreational Device.  In the past she
has
    earned her name in spades.  Ben and others can attest to the numerous
times
