Lots of friendly volks out there for my buses! Driving outside of  
Moab, Utah once w/ the SO in the 63 DC w/ tilt, & a younger good  
looking woman, on the side of the road, sees us coming by, & starts  
jumping up & down, pounding here fist to her heart, & pointing at us 
(the DC).. The wife looks at moi, & asks,"how often does that  
happen?"  I say, "not very often, honey"!  (White lie).

Pax,

Tom B.-the longer you drive 1, the more attention you'll get
