When I was 18 a friend bought an old bus... (this was about 15 years ago) We
had one of those "I wish I grew up in the 60's" party. One of the activities
included giving this bus a custom paint-job. The only requirement for
painting on the bus was that you had to be in an altered state of
conscienceness. Well, you can imagine what the thing looked like. The morning
after there was this wonderful smattering of colors on the driveway all
around a van shaped blank spot in my friend's parents driveway. Anyway, they
had a custom plate made (UGH, how un-60's!) anyway, I always loved it:

VANGO

Anyway... a fond memory, but man, it makes me cry now to think about what
THEY (of course I didn't paint--I never inhale--who knows I might want to run
for President someday)! did to that beautiful 1965 bus!

Good luck with the ideas... Let the list know what you finally decide on!
