Which is awkward to admit since there's a >current thread on another list that is debating the use of the term "bus" >to describe a Vanagon. My '84 is a bus, my '87 was a bus, my '79 was a bus, my '71 was a bus, my '63 was a bus and both my '59's were buses. I'm a VW bus kinda guy... not sure how I'll feel about it if get an EV. Seriously, driving my '84 Vanagon feels like driving any of the buses I've had over the years. Well the window does roll down and it didn't on the 59-63 years, which is why I bought the '71. I was in Hawaii with the 79 and moving to Chicago, I was looking for heater boxes/engine for the '79 when I saw the ad for the 86 syncro Vanagon. That was my first Vanagon, it had real heat but it was still a bus when I drove it. Drive your Vanagon Greg and call it a bus, it still is.
