Just as a rusty old Pinto attracts police like a donut shop, the Vanagon seems to enlist other drivers to speed up and tailgate, give the the quick pass then get in front of you, invoke the horn or even the 'finger'. I have even found a bunch of repeat offenders or 'regulars' as I call them. (I hope it's not my driving) I take it all in stride and get a good laugh on the way to work every morning. They should know it's a Vanagon, not a NASCAR. In my opinion I don't think the older air-cooled vans get disrespected by the general gum-chewing public as much as the Vanagon. I get no respect.
