My favorite design feature, shared with the split windshield and bay window
busses, is the fact that you are sitting directly above the front wheels. It
is always fun to make passengers freak out when you go to park it nose in up
next to a retaining wall, bushes, etc.

Without exception, the unitiated passengers will scream, hold on, or panic
in some other way as they think the van is about to crash.

Cheers,
Bruce
