Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw on the back of a 'conversion van' back in the hippy days, it said 'Don't laugh, your daughter could be in here." -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of craig cowan Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 2:19 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Ladies and Vanagons Apparenty, there are many flaws in this day and age associated with a group of highschool seniors, 2 couples in particular, trying to convince their parents to let them ride to and from (and to after partys) in a VW bus. The decision was made by the parents not to let their daughters ride in the vehicle, after seeing the "newly installed curtains" and "Sweet extra wide blue cordaroy bed!"....... These are points that should not enter the conversation for someone my age. It was this day, that i learned this lesson. So if there are any other youngen's out there.....don't use the words "And we'd like to go to prom in this VW bus. It's got sleeping space for 5!!!". Not good. Though i do admit, the ladies do enjoy the "little miss sunshine" themed music while attempting to conquer a hill on 3 cylinders! -Craig '85GL On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 3:33 PM, Jake de Villiers < crescentbeachguitar@gmail.com> wrote: > Apparently it worked! > > On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 12:16 PM, Jeff Palmer <jpalmer@mts.net> wrote: > > > I left my bed down and the curtains closed the first time I met my > > girlfriend (and future wife's) parents. > > Yikes! > > > > > > From: "Richards, Andrew" <Andrew.Richards@NIKE.COM> > > > Date: 2008/04/08 Tue AM 11:28:16 CDT > > > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > > > Subject: Re: Ladies and Vanagons > > > > > > I have a regular GL w/ a z-bed.
