Reminds me of our early teenage son, who would absolutely cringe when his mom came to pick him up from a snotty area middle school in the '63 Doka full of construction trash to drop at the local dump. He told her to never park in front of school in that vw again! Now he wants me to give him the 65 Westy. LOL

Tom B.-at least the wife likes/drives the Doka-says all kind of volks give her the "V" sign
