On several occasions, I got a pony into my 69 bus (pony content--
years ago, long story, don't ask. The essential tool in this case was
a short lead to pull the pony in). Of course the pony would always
fill the floor with a mess by the time the pony and daughter were
delivered to wherever they were going. But--no problem! Park on a
slope and hose it out as Ronald did.

I miss the utter simplicity of those things.

But I love my vanagons (vanagon content) on the road better than
anything.
