I've been noticing a greater percentage of folks
turning their heads as I drive by them in my old
rust bucket 90 GL. It could be that they're
staring that their perception of trash, or it
could be envy. It doesn't seem to matter whether
i have kayaks or canoes on top or just the plain
old van, it seems that all generations are
looking at this thing in a new light. Since we
have cirtually no slitties or Bay Windows in the
area that regularly drive on the streets, I guess
the T-3 is the new Vintage van to gawk at.....
