What is it?

It's a bus It's a van (if you must) It's a camper (yes even without the poptop) It's my freedom It's a place to watch a band play, balloon festival, game, insert event... It's a cool place for night time activity... It's a wagon for moving stuff It's a grocery-getter (if need be) It's a work of modern- albeit mine is 29 yrs old- art It's a pace setter (0-60, yes) It's just a way of life...

It's ANYTHING BUT A MINIVAN!!!

Maybe it could be considered one in a sort of purist definition...Like what a minivan SHOULD be...I recently got over 20 MPG in mine and can transport 8 of us comfortably, including groceries, strollers, you name it (much more than Full Size Ford Conversion at 12.5 MPG blech)

Thought we could come up with a better title...I don't want the vanagon to be grouped in with the likes of other Mini-van nonsense out there... :-)

Dave
