speaking of wife/girlfriends, on one of the visits to the farm here Colin took my wife for a driving LESSON in Naranja and then let me drive it with my 7year old son riding shotgun.
My wife and I both said at the same time when we saw each other after we never knew a VW bus could shift and drive like that!
It really felt new (or at least totally different than all of ours!)
Colin is really generous to share that experience with others since that have never driven on so smooth. :flower:

Yep, that's it. Mike, I'm sure Colin would be happy to let you drive it if you asked, but since you already have a nice one of your own, there is no need. He was eager to have me drive Naranja on the grocery run, to inspire me to greater things for my beater.

Now, as to the equivalence of asking a guy to ride his bus, motorcycle or sweetheart..........I guess it all depends on condition and how much you have invested.
Truth is like poetry.
And most people fucking hate poetry.
