Sad but true...honestly I haven't had problems in my Vanagon, I always
figured it passed as a nice, innocent minivan (ha!..little do they know
;-).  But man, I drove my '72 Westy for years as a daily driver and I got
pulled over so many times it was disgusting.  And everytime I got the 10th
degree and a sobriety and pot test (flash light in the eyes to watch for
dilation).  And for all this my worst crime was trying to get through a
yellow light by flooring it, which as you all know perhaps is a stupid
thing to try in a bus.
