Sure...but my point was that treating vintage vehicles badly in the
movies encourages their mistreatment and loss.

...I note also that while one plot line in 'That 70s Show' was Kelso
winning his bus another was Eric destroying it by forgetting to put the
hand brake on and letting it roll down a cliff.

Someone needs to make a movie where VW buses and Vanagons save the day!!!

; )

the hero should arrive in a nick of time to save the world...kind of
like the Batmobile on slower!

I've been working on screenplays for years and struggling to bootstrap a
production budget...maybe there's enough support in the vintage VW
community to get something like that made!
