I never needed a truck as long as I had a VW bus.
Every tree in my yard came home sticking out the sun roof of our VW bus.
All 6 kids came home from the hospital in a VW. (2 of them in a snow storm in Massachusetts)

And after a few decades when it was time to sell....

My 2000-something Silverado is OK, but it ain't a VW.
