May I now offer ten more? TOP TEN REASONS TO DRIVE A 25-YEAR-OLD VW BUS 10. The steering wheel position eliminates the need for orthopedic seats. 9. No one s ever in your way on freeways. 8. No point in spending big bucks on a high-signal-to-noise-ratio car stereo. 7. Plenty of room for all the tools you d better not leave home without. 6. Parking it is a great workout. So is pushing it. 5. Quantity discounts at auto parts stores. 4. Long, leisurely rear views of healthy, fit, attractive bicyclists. 3. More room than most minivans. 2. Can, and sometimes has to, tow a minivan. 1. Cops never believe you re speeding.
