The Bus Depot is slow?
What would we do without them? Pay more and get it faster from the other guys
I guess.

Of all the vendors to bash, The Bus Depot gets more advertising from one
bashing on the Vanagon list than some businesses get from one word of praise
elsewhere.

Why-because it brings out all the loyal customers like myself in defense of a
valuable resource for maintenance and restoration that The Bus Depot is.

I lived in a remote Alaska village where your order takes a loooong time,
arriving by dogsled to your front door. OK, just kidding about the dogsled!

so I ordered a snare drum when I was in school, and by the time it arrived I
had taken up the trombone!

It's not uncommon for most things you order by mail to take two months up
there, especially if it has to come by barge (find the Kuskokwim River) .
I have always wondered if any Vanagons ever made it out there. They only have
a bout twenty-five miles of road.

Down in the lower 48 everyone has to have it now! Instant everything. Even
the microwave is too slow-I want it hot in five seconds! Busses and Vanagons
are slow-why shouldn't Bus Depot be?

Bus Depot is OK with me-gotta go, have to get that order off to Bus Depot.
