"Bus" would have had staying power if VW hadn't called it a Vanagon.

I dislike referring to my '88 Westie as a "van" - I prefer to call it a "bus". For some reason, "bus" has a better karmic feeling to it. To me, the word "van" conjures up images of an old Chevy cargo van with a broken 8-track player, duct tape over the windows and a hostage in the back.

Definitely a "bus" man, myself. You?
