that was totally a coincidence--creepy shit fer sure--now what would really be creepy is a zombie soccer mom who haunts the junkyard where the car she wrecked in sits totalled--wandering aimlessly from wreck to wreck lookin for the kids to get to the game (good movie idea,,,?) _________________ Check out My Highway Key cigar box guitars www.youtube.com/user/RichStark412 www.handmademusicclubhouse.com/profile/RichardStark

If he's really a Kerouac fan he believes in letting stuff age for a bit. He probably wrote his response out on strips of paper and saved it for a year, then posted it.

Lot of stuff changes in just a year. 10 trillion spending is a lot to divy up between 300 million people. _________________ The best thing that anyone can do for their Bay is get the Volkswagen of America Official Service Manual published by Robert Bentley. Without it the bus is pretty much doomed.

How do you miss a truck stalled in the middle of your lane? He made the right move at the last but the smack down on the drivers side at the end of the vid had to hurt. Can't tell if there's a passenger or not.

a lot of judgemental people in this thread. What I call PFGs: Pronouncements From God.
couple years back there were a couple of jackasses in Albuquerque putting bumper stickers on SUVs: thank you for wasting gas and polluting the planet, et cetera.
not vans, RVs or long wheelbase pickups. just SUVs.
kind of like the brave souls who throw blood on women wearing furs, but not on men in black leather jackets. _________________ 73 Beetle, Ghia front brakes, Type 3 rear brakes, 1776, Solex 34 Pict-3, Bosch SVDA, '97 Mustang seats

Well here was my Bus in 2001 when a guy ran a light and hit me from the side. I went to the hospital, I had a few stitches, I was wearing my seatbelt... but I'm lucky it wasn't head on. What probably saved me was sitting up higher than the car that whacked me.
Here's the same Bus in 2010:

Texting, talking on cell, playing with GPS, fiddling with the latest application for appholes or doing any one of a hundred things that idiot drivers do on the road these days instead of driving.
I hope no one was hurt. _________________ 1976 Westfalia 1970 Karmann Ghia Convertible (sold - but not forgotten)

This 1994 public information film by TAC (Transport Accident Commission) in Victoria, Australia is widely known as "The Kombi van commercial" down there. They probably weakened the vehicle structure to get the full effect when filming it, but it makes you think. It scares the hell out of me watching it.

Thanks wasn't easy. Try getting discharged from emergency room at 5am and getting to tow yard by 9am!
Still have issue with Bus from that... have a 72 dogleg instead of 71 and electrical system is, shall we say, partially non-OEM.
