Hehe! I have noticed the same thing. When driving in my Audi, I have waved at someone with the exact same car, and get a stupid look, like 'why is that weird man waving at us,' and they speed off.

Whereas in the '67, you are almost guarenteed a 'peace' or wave from other pre '68's, and a wave from most bussers, and even the occasional bug.

Has anyone also noticed small childrens fascination with old Busses? It always makes me happy to see them stare and smile at me. | - Mike White | | <mike.white@admn1.law.utah.edu> | | <mwhite@eng.utah.edu> |
