Our first ever camping trip as a family. We got into the campground in the dark and knew there was a lake down there somewhere. We woke to an awesome sunrise under the canopy of some huge valley oaks. My daughter slept on the front bench and had the most awesome view that morning.
A year later, cruising the California cost down to Half Moon Bay for more camping. My wife driving and my daughter in the car seat next to her.
Cold morning drive to school wishing we had a heater and wipers capable of wiping water. Great memories! My daughter was 5 in the last pic, just turned 16 this year.

To be honest, that's a pretty low bar

| Seeing an ID Buzz on the road is almost as rare as seeing an aircooled bus. They are not selling well. |

I am speculating, but I don't think the idea is to make a profit on the Buzz.
I think it's a "halo" model, intended to strengthen the brand, and draw customers into showrooms, where they will buy a more cost-effective model.
So it can be a success, even if sales are low and they lose money on it.
That said, it's about 20 years too late, and not retro enough to succeed in the market.

Day two of a long trip from San Diego to Washington I drove my Karmann Ghia from Tahoe up the 89 through Lassen around Shasta then up to the 97 to Klamath. What a phenomenal area.

Sometimes the back roads are the best.
