Be careful in that bus. Those flat fronted vans of the day, offered
little protection. Not that you want to hear this, but the VW Bus made
this list of deadliest car designs.

Yup. Mine is more of a novelty. I use it once in a while around town,
but that's about it.
Right now it needs front end work, so it isn't being used at all.

Good journals. I read the around-the-world trip on the catamaran
entirely. The VW bus journey doesn't interest me as much.
No offense to thunder, but that "dangerous car" list is mostly a load
of hooey.
The VW bus should probably be number 1. (-:

I was frankly surprised that the Porsche 930 Turbo made the list. I had
heard stories about them getting away from you in turns and the rear (with
the engine) overtaking the front.

Mine was an '02 911 Turbo, but it is all wheel drive, a feature that
practically eliminated that tendency.

I can't even imagine putting over 49,000 miles in a VW bus. I drive mine
once in a while down to the local convenience store, about 3 miles away and
back and I've pretty much had it for the day.
I just get a kick out of the people pointing and laughing at it.

For $121,000 you could have bought a 1961 XK150S with less than 10,000
miles...

============================================

Yes, I used up one of my youthful nine lives in a VW bus roll over
back in the 60s. * They are also known for doing unscheduled lane
changes in a cross wind or when being passed by a tractor trailer
truck.

My good friend had a Corvair that seemed to have a mind of it's own.
You could be going down the highway at 50 mph or so, and the thing
would just take off in a different direction. Good thing we lived in
the country, mostly fields. We had to replace a lot of farmer's fences
though!
