I like my '84 Wolfsburg Westy.  I want a split-window bus but find it hard
to part with the mix of 'vintage' appeal and modern conveniences of my
Westy.  It looks like I'll be installing a 2.1L WBX in it in the near future
so I'll have the speed of the late-model Westies too!  Watch out State
Troopers!
