RE: Cool Vanagons
Thinking about this since Mark's initial post and thinking about the appeal
of our Vanagons to younger people leads me to wonder about this as at least
part of the reason.  First, the younger people may well not  see a
differencce between a Bus and a Vanagon.  They are are simply Buses and in
their minds they are the icon of the '60's and Hippies.  And I also suspect
that there is a mythology today about the  Hippie era that exists in the
minds of younger generations that weren't there, in fact their parents are
probably the sons and daughters of those who were.  So these young people
see the VW Bus as the icon of that time and the Vanagon the same as a
Splittie in their minds.
