First of all, my family and I always call it a bus, not a van. My wife
remembers her father's '63 pale blue Microbus, in which were packed Mom,
Dad, six children, and hay bales for the horses instead of middle or
rear seats. The kids rode on the bales. Hey, it had a one ton carrying
capacity. Those must have been very sloooowwwwww trips. It was named
Blue Bell.

Our '84 Vanagon is named Hippie. Our three children have applied a peace
symbol and a "Gogh Van Gogh" sticker to the back. We have yet to find a
flower power sticker, however!
