It's a fact that the West Coast is bus heaven.  It's a noteworth sight when
I see another westy (or should I say mid-westy?) here in St. Louis.  I
think one reason is that the Midwest has extreme temperatures both summer

and winter, so VW never got a foothold in the market when their buses had

neither heat nor AC.  In later years, when buses had more creature
comforts, they didn't have a customer base to sell them to.  This lack of

buses also translates to no parts available at your local FLAPS.........
