Ya gotta understand that I am used to the generations of VW campers with
rear wheel drive and look like big old shoe box/bread loaf mofos. It is real
hard for me to get used to the shape, cooling method, amount of plastic
components, lack of noise, comfort level <er, wait a minute> and price of
the front wheel drive campers. <that's better> OK, in the spirit of the
Holidays, I will back off a bit and admit that they don't look like the
newer D*dge minivans but rather like a refined, overly expensive, version of
the '80s style Chry*ler Minivans. If I could afford one I would probably
like a bad azzed 4x4 synchro, otherwise I will stick to my '67 sweatbox
poptop and the '83 Slowmobile Westies. I can have both of these for the
price of one of these Iacoca looking  yuppie campers. Sheist, I would be
afraid to take the jewel into the woods for fear of scratching the thing.
Maybe Moriah Carey and her Hummer "crew" would clear the way. You could set
up camp and listen to Kenny G and eat quiche! "More whine my dear?"
