Buddy bought a new house so we appropriately circled the wagons for an overnight housewarming campout. Nice summer day in Portland

You just know your Buddy's new neighbors saw all those old VW's parked on the street and in his yard and said to themselves "FUCK! There goes the neighborhood!!".

If you can't keep the VW owners at Bay, it's time to split.

OK last campout of 2018. Going big with many photos from Descend on Bend. For those not familiar with DOB. It’s a big campout with vans, Vanagons, Buses, and whatever out in central Oregon along some big ass Hole-In-The-Ground.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole-in-the-Ground
Met up with this great 👍 OG air cooled guy in the middle of nowhere. My buddy needed to pick up some vintage EMPI rims for his square back and we got to play
Finally made it to Descend on Bend.
Syncro dudes playing in the hole.
Always got to have a raffle
Hanging with the boys
Time to head out. The red bus belongs to “DaninaVan” He’s from BC. We met him and the family while camping. Great people.
Thanks to all that help me do what I like to do. Maybe some of you folks can make it out to one of these trips. Keep on busin’

Hello, yes. I am also missing my star next to my username.
Xevin, What happened to my star? Please advise. Read this thread and some guy named AlmostHeavenWV_VW gave some links in regards to this issue, but I am still lost.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide

Oh yeah, now I remember:
That star designates premium membership to the Samba. It confers several benefits to the purchaser, but most importantly it supports the Samba and EverettB in continuing to provide this forum as a resource to everyone.
At the price of 4-5 starbucks coffees for an entire year's membership, it's probably the most return on investment an ACVW owner can get.
Support the Samba!

This Thanksgiving I give thanks for my yellow star and for EB refusing to kick me out of the Samba even though 10,000 people signed the petition.
That video is safe,EB

What else am I thankful for on the Samba.
Robbie’s patience with me while installing an engine in Xatie’s 76 and his double AAR trick to get the idle to behave better on start up.

Catch a yellow star and put in your pocket, save it for postCovid day.
Skills will do a Soooby, Sooby do, and the power will blow you away,,
For love will find you and your Ver Double you.....one yellow starry night...
Until then get out your pen, and send Samba a pocket lint of Yen...
And get your yellow on,,,
humble apologies to Mr Perry Como
Here’s how yo get your star back...
