then you'll love this ... compare the vanagon (and previous generation
of buses)
to the length of a beetle. :) it's only a foot longer than an old
beetle.

it sure doesn't look like it, but if you put the bus and beetle side
by side, both front bumpers up against the wall, you'll see how really
short the buses are. :)
or .... how really tiny those old beetles were.
