here's some of the copy from the "AOL Today" site.. amidst the pic of a hippied out mid 60's splitty. this is NPR's "Car -Talk" radio show's "worst car of the millennium" the bus tops out at #10.. i know the Car-Talk retards hate vw buses, but im beginning to think Steve Case (AOL's CEO) does too.... "If everyone had to own one of these as a first car as I did, there would be no traffic jams anywhere. At least half of us would be so turned off by the experience of owning a car, that we would seek alternate means of transportation." "There was no heat--unless, that is, the auxiliary gas heater caught fire." "The flower stickers were the only things that held the car together." "The bus had no heat, blew over in the wind and used the driver's legs as its first line of defense in an accident." "It was a death trap on the highway-you could never go fast enough. The chances were good that you'd be hit from the rear." |
