I like my bus because it has good vibes. People wave to you, come up to
you when camping, and in general are nice to you if you are in a vanagon.
It is slow. But i like it being slow. It allows you to budget a few extra
hours in the drive which allows you to check out the historic
markers, fruit stands, scenic views and the like. THe slowness also keeps
me from stressing.
My child (come'th early october 2001) started his life in the vanagon :-)
