what are some of your predictions? chris
------------------ Clip ---------------------
With the rising cost of Automobile Fuels of all types and the never ending
increases in property taxes along with the ever increasing cost of home
utilities I make the following predictions.
1) VW Westfalia will become the home of the future, they'll be buried up to
the pop top in the ground and residents will pop the top to enter down into
their cozy Westfalia interior.
2) Standard 7 person Vanagons will be buried all around the central
Westfalia unit as libraries, children's play rooms, media rooms and what
ever might be the demands of the day.
3) Every buried Vanagon or Westfalia will have a burial marker at each end
to keep unwary pedestrians from falling through the semi crystallized
fiberglass tops.
4) Westfalia will be used as commercial businesses with the pop tops being
elevated each day to dispense milk, bread or whatever other consumables are
still affordable.
5) Ethnic groups in communities will be easily recognized by the African
Americans living in Cadillac Escalade, Hispanics will live in more cramped
quarters using Pickup Trucks with 16 foot utility trailer parked at ground
level to identify an occupied location.
6) The Asian community will be the major land owners in America and are the
ones renting and selling the locations for burying your Vanagon. The Asian
community as a whole will occupy Hollywood and all the surrounding mansions.
Their mansion existence will continue across the US to the east coast only
skipping Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi.
7) The general American public, while living in a somewhat limited luxury
existence will continue to buy products made in China and discarding them
after they self destruct at the end of the third week of use.
8) The then President of The United States in 2015, Mr One Hung Low will
provide major no interest business and property improvement loans to all who
qualify as foreign born land owners residing in the US.
9) Since 7-11 Stores were first to be Asian owned they will overwhelm the
behemoth Wal Mart and rename all the stores to Chin Chain Stores, Inc.
