The next house we buy is going to be out in the country, with a big enough 
garage to store several vehicles. 
We're pretty much out of room at our current place.

I would buy a vehicle if I see it, like the BlueBus, but it would be to save it 
and pass it on. Unless it was real sweet.

No kidding Denis, my two keep me real busy. 
I don't need any more. 
Well, I did see a sweet Single Cab while we were on vacation. 
Almost turned around an knocked on a door. 
Almost... 
Everybody needs a truck right?

I know one. 

I only have Murray. I sold our beautiful Ghia to someone who adored her and 
only wanted the one car and was going to use it as a daily driver. I have my 
hands full keeping Murray on the road and I don't see why I would keep more. I 
need all you other guys to keep all those vehicles and boneyards because I will 
need the parts.

Snobs in the VW community?  Never!  Now there are some real (*%^(&(*^ heads, 
but have never met a snob in the VW community.

when i sold hershey a 54 chevy 2 door post brased my finger tips, solid body, 
near perfect floors COMPLETE with motor, tranny, everythign was there, just 
needed to be rebuilt. straight 6's are cheap enough to rebuild, i looked into 
it, talked to a friend of mine that builds early iron for a living, and almost 
bought it. but something about vw's had me going back. since owning the 77, 
then the 69, now the 58 and 66 parts bus, i've learned, there are alot of great 
friends i have that share the vw hobby, in the early iron hobby they are all 
snobs. granted there are some snobs in the vw community as well, but i just 
don't see myself ever getting out of vw's. 
  
i vote keep one of each, sell the rest, and enjoy them. oh and you were 
bitching about the t3, a friend says it best, the factory made them a certain 
way for a reason, when you go and change that, you create problems. ;)
