>I have noticed that when I drive the '57 Single cab that I get a little
more reaction than when I drive the Vanagon. 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!
