I will bet you Hanks know little about the Syncro and somehow bought it from Gowesty with his disposable income.
Hmmm , maybe I am him, haha _________________ 86 Syncro Wolfsburg edition

I heard that he is getting into character for his new movie The Vanagons of Pahrump, Nevada.
He plays the bad guy. _________________ -- 1987 Westfalia automatic (Captain Vino) |

now now no need to slag the guy or gal who paid $110K for a Westy.
I use that to my advantage on my wife.

Well, he may have called it a bus, but he also referred to it as a car and didn't even know what decade his particular model was made in. If you were to judge by his level of ignorance, you would have to go with van, over bus. |
