My wife says that she gets alot more waves and reation when she drives the '57. (Duh, wonder why?) I have also noticed that alot of folk consider the Vanagon Campmobile only as a road barrier. Youngish drivers seem to hate it! Now maybe if I was driving a Beemer then I would be popular with ladies young enough to be my daughter. My buddy has a 911, paid $1800.00 for a clutch, and $500.00 for a tune up on another occasion. He gets plenty of looks. I give him looks like he's nuts. Naaah, gimme my '57 and the wife. Let them drive cake! .......................................................................
