My experience too.........and I don't understand why Eurovans don't feel some
sort of kinship with their predecessors. Like some emabarrasingly crotchety
grandparent they wish would stay in the old Volks home. The most common reaction
I've had is to have people describe my westy as a hippie van --- ask me where my
peace sign is etc. I had one 18 year old gas jockey ask me right out if I was a
hippie --- I was in full business garb at the time too. Don't know where he
thought I was hiding my beard, beads and bong..........
