My small experiences traveling the Rockies in an 81 air cooled vanagon is that Westy owners won't wave or acknowledge my presence. Even my kids will start to wave at a vanagon till they see its a westy, then they just give up. Not at all a blanket condemnation, but an observation from on person's POV. John |
