I get some other VW's to wave on occasion, but I've noticed that
people of all ages and all vehicles seem to be looking at my old
rusty 90 GL; not in awe or disdain, but more of a "  Gee, where'd
that kinda van come from?" sort of look.  It could be my weird
home-made roof rack that I carry my paddlecraft around with.  I
should take the roof rack off for a month and see if things
change.  It'll be about as scientific as an experiment as I'll ever conduct.
