Heck, just in any parking lot we have people coming up to talk about the
bus.

The other day we were at a feed store to get beet pulp for my husband's
horse who is elderly and unfortunately has laminitis (an often fatal
condition).  The young cowboy who loaded our feed is into four-wheel drives
(owns a Dodge Cummins 4wd pickup, as do we) and immediately noticed that
the Syncro was in fact different than other VW vans.  He even looked
underneath it and expressed fascination with the Syncro.  He told my
husband he was interested in any 4wd, especially rare and different ones;
it was a nice conversation.

One of my favorite drives is Monument Valley in Arizona; also the entire
drive up there through the Navajo Reservation outside of Flagstaff.
Painted Desert tour is great too.  First took that drive in my parents'
1986 Vanagon.
