Watched that last week. One of the buses in the first or second episode looked like a later model (mid-60's) for a '61ish scene. Still, I don't think many, if any, would really care or catch the nuances...pretty damn good show by the way. _________________ ,,Wenige Menschen denken, und doch wollen alle entscheiden.'' -der Alte Fritz

Anyone know the significance of the Bus's in this weeks Silicon Valley? They have smoke coming out of them, and there are two, like a delivery service of some kind?
EDIT: Indeed it is a delivery service, of the herbal remedy variety, turns out:

I wonder where the Bus first acquired that association.
Best I can come up with, is this?

Do you have another example of when the world collectively accepted this stereotype? _________________ "OG = Original German" -- TheSamba.com dictionary |

Woodstock brings these to mind
But how a VW Bus became synonymous with pot, I fail to see the direct connection. _________________ "OG = Original German" -- TheSamba.com dictionary |

Here is a high school history book. Caption reads….. This young woman prepares to enter her elaborately decorated van in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. Such vans were commonplace modes of transportation for members of the counterculture in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

1966, my friend Terry Wine purchased a 1958 VW panel I sited on Foothill blvd. That Easter week we loaded up surfboards, and headed to our local beaches to go on a 4 day surfing safari, Sleeping on side streets of Newport, Across from Dana Point in the infamous Richfield station, 3rd night San Clemente state park....No pic's due to the fact I think we sold the camera for food and gas. _________________ .
