No politics here....while voting today I waw a grey Vanagon GL that had the logo "SPORT" emblazened near the bottom of both front doors.  Was this some limited edition model of the Vanagon, or just a sticker the owner threw on?  It didn't seem to have any other special features.  This was in Cincinnati Ohio.

But yes, I did my duty first thing this morning.
