The teenagers and hipsters love them around Boston too. There aren't many left here as they've all rotted out long ago, so you don't see them very often. Within the last month I've had teenagers hanging out of windows and single speed bike messenger types that almost universally hate cars yell out "sweet van".. my syncro is anything but sweet, really rusty and beat on, but not sweet. Being out and about when there is a ton of snow makes it even more surprising and interesting though I bet.
