I'll be honest, functionally I can understand the attraction, but looks wise...I don't get it.

PS - I always wanted to make a shirt that says "I'm so grateful he's finally dead" :laughing:
When I see a VW bus I think surfer, not hippie (unless it has a flower and peace sign paint job):bwgy:
Now that you mention it, Billy, during this past Hot August Nights I took a photo of a VERY NICE VW Bus that was totally tricked out as a surf mobile. If I can remember, I will post it later tonight. You guys will like it.Quote:

I spent a few years behind the wheel of one of these...ummmmmm...things.
Not big on comfort, but a fun ride if you put big jugs, cam, dual webbers, etc on em...:yesgray:

L0L...I never noticed it before, but why does Melvin have a crescent wrench clipped to his interceptor outfit???...:_thinking...:laughing:

Shhh...don't tell anyone, but I'm with her RIGHT NOW at a cheap motel in El Centro, California. I rode her hard all night and she's asking for more today!
And yes...photos WILL be forthcoming.
Ps: why is it that all DJs sound the same when you're driving cross-country? You've either got the perky young female, with a cute voice but probably a face made for radio, or the middle-aged guy who still sounds like he finds Hall and Oates exciting and meaningful, through the 80s, 90s and today!!!! And now here's John Denver, taking us back down those Country Roads...
Also, this is definitely a beach surfer bus, not a hippie bus. Although I DID pick her up at around 4:20 in the afternoon.
Let me know if you swing through Tucson on your way home...we could do lunch or dinner or just grab a snack!:bwgy:
They're not? :confused::confused::confused: Oh...Quote:
