I drive a Eurovan and always wave at other VW Vans.  I often get strange
looks from Vanagon & Bus owners - I don't think they know what a Eurovan is!
But then, I often get that look when I wave at Eurovans too! (Why the he##
is that guy waving at us?)

I started waving in 1980 when I drove from Anchorage to Dallas in my '74
camper. EVERYONE waved on the AlCan, regardless of what you were driving
(even the big rigs).  You never know when you'll need a friendly hand on the
side of the road.
