Am I insane for liking this vehicle?

They are mind-numbingly slow, and the driving postion and view take LOTS of getting used too. It is an odd sensation not to see any hood, and to have the feeling of the front wheels behind you as you make a turn.

I read that your femurs are the front line of defense in a collision in these things 😀

Very true!
I used to hear many gasps from front seat passengers as I would pull up behind another car at a red light!

You do realize that they were joking, right? Roger would sooner sell his home than the Westfalia.

Every man has his price, I'll bring up some of my girlfriends, a bottle of champagne and some bling-bling, we'll negotiate. 😀

I would think the tibia would take the hardest punishment.

Put a nice new aluminum block 1800 - 2000CC engine in it, re-upholster the back all plush.. 😉

That bus definitely kicks ass. But may I suggest a different powerplant of the Subaru turbocharged variety?

Pretty cool bus, but there are way better deals here

Is it just a phase? Are there other die hard old school VW fans out there?

I'm thinking of picking one up. Not this one, too pricey, but something with potential...

Hmm, they are underpowered and air cooled, have poor crash protection, poor handling, no ABS, or air bags.

If you like it get it.
