Looks as if Homer went out and got himself a Westy and Marge decorated it for him. Just wait until Lisa and Bart get aload of it.  |

I think it was part of the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.

While it's probably not something I would do myself, I kinda like the green and yellow interior. I don't think they have "destroyed" the van in any way--it's unique and interesting. _________________ 1980 Vanagon L Westy (176,200)

How unfortunate for that van!
That being said, it looks like they did do a real good job of it....but that shade of green
Whatever does it for ya I guess. _________________ 1987 GL Sunroof

Green is my favorite color, but . . . ewww!
That's just a bit too much for me. At least it's color coordinated, I guess . . .? _________________ ~Annie
