Subject:EV VR6 non-camper sighting

Those of you who've noted my occasional postings might recall
we live in northern Vermont.  Fact is, we live about 9 miles
north of a fairly well known place called Stowe.  During this
time of year, Stowe is overrun by touroids & ski people.  They
all look as if they've just stepped out of a New Yorker magazine,
an effect achieved, I think, with some effort.

Anyway, the reason I'm writing is to say that driving through
Stowe today in our EV on our way into Burlington for a friday night
Italian dinner at Papa Frank's (in Winooski), I spotted a brand
new EV VR6 coming the other way down Main street in Stowe.

It was outlandishly painted with a wild blue K2 paint scheme, and
was clearly some kind of VW-sponsered courtesy vehicle operating
around one of the resorts.  It also said, "Drivers Wanted" on it.

But what was neat was that unlike every other VR6 I've seen so far,
this one was a stright van, not a camper conversion.

The guy was a ski resort courtesy van driver type, 
and didn't return my wave.
