Yeah, I was a token woman then, too, but in grad school, not in vanagon
color selection...

  Aha!! But were you a token woman back in 1988 when Burgundy was a very
popular car color?

  Most of my women friends have seen the one Bordeaux colored van that I
own. Most have commented that it is much prettier than my blue, silver,
white, gold, two-tone brown, & bronze vans. Most popular comment? It's look
so much more like a "regular van". Maybe it's the silver painted cladding
that they like. I kinda like the cladding too. I hope that doesn't qualify
me to be a token woman.
