In Canada's Globe & Mail newspaper today, there were several excerpts from "this year's annual San
Jose State University contest for the worst opening sentence to the worst possible novel."

This excerpt has some connection to carb'ed Vanagons & busses.  Enjoy:

"The grand prize winner, Dan McKay of Fargo, N.D.,
wrote about female anatomy and classic cars, bringing
them together in well, a unique way.

"As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the
dual Stromberg carburetors in his vintage Triumph
Spitfire, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold,
aching for experienced hands, the small knurled caps
of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as described in chapter seven of the shop
manual.""
