No it's NOT.
A baywindow windshield and roomy interior is superior to a BMW.
A BMW is good for "Get There". A VW bus is good for getting there.
Colincranky

Uh oh. Here comes trubble.

Imagine if you will, a windshield twice as big as a bus.
Imagine a driver's seat height a FOOT higher than a bus.
Imagine the view.

Imagine cleaning the bugs off that windshield.

(Notice the steps built into the bumper for that exact reason)

Interior room? INTERIOR ROOM? You wanna talk interior ROOM?

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about.
Oh, and 25 mpusg, too.

Is that a Chrysliat parked in there?

Imagine helping out a friend whom you haven't yet met in person by delivering a vehicle to their doorway. This would be Jeffrey and I helping Jasan who in turn helped us get to OR so we can attend the RendezVW

Imagine seeing the Pacific Northwest for the very first time on a road trip. This would be Jeffrey.

I can't wait. Only one more workday after today and we'll be leaving Dodge.

As Bill mentioned, I believe the correct term is Chrysliat!

Fiat 500 in a Sprinter! Wow! I love the Fiat 500. (Shh, I like the sprinter, too.)

Safe travels on the trip! See you IN MAUPIN NEXT WEEKEND! Excited yet? :)

Actually, Dodge was metaphorically speaking but if you wanna get technical about it, the Caliber is a Dodge.

ABSOLUTELY!

Now if I make it through one more workday without choking the s*** out of one ignorant s*** I work with, it will all be gravy. And no, it's not my BFF Bella Atropa.

Is her name Jane?

You're right, I suppose Dodge City existed long before Dodge became a brand of car.

Nah, it isn't Jane. Nice try though. She's still a stupid s***.

(PLEASE! This is not a longshoresman convention! Not even Free Speech deserves this witless cursing-edit)

Heck, that's the older, smaller Sprinter. The new ones are even bigger inside. I wouldn't be surprised if you could fit a Bay in one.

Hee.

Very short, very round and always angry about something. I was saying s*** in lieu of what I really call her under my breath.
