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.
