Took it out today even with a bad back and freezing cold killing me! Also just got a shed so there is more room to get in and out of the bus in my garage without worry of something falling on the bus.

no, i'm not that bad. it is a Santa my Mom had and couldn't use on her Beetle Convertible so i used it on the front of the old 21 window bus. The mango has a nice nose so it sure isn't going on there!
