i've lived with that for 36 years now ... nobody in the family even
cares to TRY to understand why i like vw buses. they couldn't
understand why i got the first one, but they sure called me up to move
things around the family in it!!! i was the one who got to move
furniture from birmingham to mobile,and more junk from mobile to
charlottesville, and later from montgomery to texas!!! and every time
afterward, "when are you gonna get a real car instead of that piece of
junk?".

my sister still does it, even though SHE drives a chrysler minivan and
has since they came out in 1984 ... she's on her sixth or seventh one
(i can't keep up). she goes and gets a new one every time they come
out with more "features".

so what do i do? i say to hell with 'em and keep on driving the bus.
:)
i didn't buy the bus to make anybody happy but me ... and that's what
it does,
and the rest of the dysfunctional bio-related bozos can just go jump
in the septic tank! :)
