Actually, not true.  I enjoy VW shows.  I haven't been to many the last year or two but I used to go to the Sacramento Bug-O-Rama twice a year, then down to LA for the Classic/SOTO show (which is now OCTO).  I plan on trying to make a show at Angels Camp, California later this month.  While many of these shows feature vintage air-cooleds, there are usually some Vanagons around, and it's fun to look at earlier versions of the Transporter.  At the Classic in Irvine there are usually quite a few Vanagons "showing off."

Being the Vanagon doesn't lend itself to Hot Rodding or showing off type
activities (for the most part) but instead is a people hauler/camping
type thing it seems most folks on this list couldn't be bothered with
attending a (VW) car show or two.

True?
