Nope, mine is a dirty blue bubble top.  There was a white westy about
30 miles South of Big Sur though, parked on the west side of the road.
It was parked in front of some sort of clinic and there was a guy
standing there with a sign that said "This clinic kills animals!" or
something to that effect.  I'm sure the van was his, and I saw him
in the exact spot on the way up too, so he was apparently living in
the van.  Maybe he was who you saw?

Dude!  It's not a thumbs up, but a wave!  You know, you have both hands
on the wheel and you just raise the fingers up on the hand closest to
the front of the van and kinda balance your wrist on the wheel and look
the other person in the eye!  Raising your hand off of the wheel and
smiling are okay too if you are so inclined.  I had about a 50/50
experience on 101, with the following observations:  EVERYONE in a split
waved.  SOME of those in breadloaves waved.  FEW in bricks waved.  :(
