I only know 3 people personally that have Vanagons. And all three could be charachterized as Hippies. Or Tree Huggers, or Outdoorsy types. THey all fit, and are all partially true. But does it matter. I'm sure Shayne didn't mean anything bad by the term Hippie. I'm a car Freak. Yea, I'm a freak. I freely admit it. When I met Shayne, he looked like a Hippie Car Freak. I dont know why everyone has to jump down someones throat every time a nationality or behavioral descriptive term comes up. Many Vanagon owners are hippies, many aren't, but probably more are than most car owners. Thus, more listers probably are as well. Ok, Enough babbling. l8r Todd (BTW, I wasn't saying you jumped down his throat, that was just a generalization term)
