We had a reporter from a local newspaper that wanted to come out and do a photoshoot and article about VW life. Here's what she came up with.

Don't mean to be Mr Downer - but the first sentence pisses me off!

"slows down highway traffic to a lethargic pace".....

I always try to do the speed limit, its the other a$$hole$ that insist on tailgating, swerving, and just being plain idiots that cause the backups.

At least here in Mass/Southern NH (which can now be considered part of Mass).

I'll contribute.
This is the video accompanying the 'gear head of the week' article that was in our local paper a couple of years ago. I can't seem to find the text portion.

You may recognize the bus as 'Big Emma'.... currently in Alaska as part of this thread:

yes it does.....
mostly because the reporter told me he was just taping it for his notes for later - and then he posted the video.

ah well.... at least we got something !
