I can't imagine that happening to me.  I've never had any bad experiences.  If
nothing else people just laugh, then I just smile, honk my funny little horn,
& give em the peace sign.  It's amazing, everywhere I go someone seems to have
a story about a buddy of their's that used to have a vanagon.  It really is
great.  I've decided there's a part of everyone that wants to own a VW bus,
we're just the only ones the realize how great it is to act on that desire.

> Wow.  We always get the opposite reaction.  Just yesterday a kid in a BMW
328 passed me at an intersection and gave a big smile and thumbs up.  When
we're on the highway it's entertaining to watch people's reactions.  Most will
smile or nod approvingly.  Kids will point and try to get everyone else in the
car too look.  A few days ago a kid in a gas station asked if it was one of
them new Microbus things.

a distance of maybe 15 yards,"It's a piece of sh**!"  I was speechless as I am
not used to having people yelling vehicular descriptions at complete
strangers.  My wife had the presence of mind to shoot them the finger but we
all know what kind of altercations that can cause.  Stuff like this happen to
anyone else out there?  By the way, drove 130 miles this weekend in the van
and not one bus/vanagon to be seen.
