Pre-Depot I drove a VW Bus and wore a tie or a suit to work, and people flashed peace signs at me all the time. Now I'm my own boss so I can wear anything I damn well please, which typically means Birkenstocks and so on. But even with Phish or the Dead blasting, I still get far fewer peace signs flashed at me driving a Vanagon in a tie-dye, than I did driving a Bus in a tie. - Ron Salmon The Bus Depot, Inc. www.busdepot.com (215) 234-VWVW _____________________________________________ Toll-Free for Orders by PART # : 1-866-BUS-DEPOT |
