Same here. The van is an extension of myself. My kids rag me all the time about being an old hippie driving an old hippie-mobile ( they don't really know the difference) . I told them that when my time comes, strap me in the seat of my "hippie-mobile" and roll me and it into a deep hole in the back pasture. Nobody ever need know "our" final resting place! In a generation, nobody cares anyway.
