People love to tailgate VW Bus/Vanagons because they want to read all those
stickers on the back hatch and bumper!  Mine says, "If you can read this,
you're losing."  I also have one that says, in the proper font, "Driver
Found."  Someone with some web space to burn should start a photo gallery
showing the back of buses and Vanagons up close with whatever stickers there
are.
