| Not sure if anyone else has seen this but "Little Miss Sunshine" has this 79 Yellow VW Bus in it that I am sure a lot of van owners can relate to. Very funny movie. Check it out what happens to the van truely makes you laugh. |

Saw it. Charming and funny, good script. The van becomes another character, as these old boxes are wont to do.
The story begins in Albuquerque, but they never shot here in NM. They just used SoCal to stand in for it. |

It was one of the better movies for 2006. It is refreshing to see something with a script, of any kind, for a change. Particulaly, after seeing the last Star Wars, which apparently, Lucas had a 4th grade class write the script.
I personally identified with the clutch problem. I had a similar problem when I fragged the transmission on one of my old 88 land rovers. I could only shift from high to low range for 500 miles and the push start thing was what we did, that and the 'Gods must be Crazy' run in front of the car as it idles though the gate thing.
