as one who drove a '68 bus for about a half-million miles and, a couple decades later and to the present, an '82 westy, i've always looked on the experience as kinda like sailing. even as you've got to tack your boat occasionally, you will be crawling up a hill sometimes in your vdub, floorboarded in third and maybe even in second, and pulling over occasionally to let the lamborghinis & rolls-smackhard V8s get past, with a wave and a nod (if you're really cool). its jes the nature of the beast, and not for everyone. chrs, art |
