Hall of Shame: Open letter to Ivan Stewart
Dear Ivan Stewart,
While I enjoyed your video game very much, I take issue with the damage you have done to the VW bus community. You see, your little trick of cutting the rear wheel wells out turned into a epidemic. Every jackass with a cutting torch decided if Ivan Stewart can do it, so can I!
And here's the worst part. For years you have sat by and watched as "hippies" have taken the heat for your lack of style. How many times did you see a post of a VW bus for sale that said, "good condition, but some damn hippie cut the wheel wells out." Tons, Mr Stewart. TONS.
And you sat there and let it happen.
For shame!

Hey, stop whining. When it comes to VW's we've all modified them, sometimes beyond recognition. If it really bothers you, do a little body work and replace the cutouts. Shesh!

OldVWguy - I shouldn't have been so hard on Ivan. My point was more that people nowadays blame this modification on "hippies" but this wasn't a hippie mod - it was a mod everyone did. It was a sarcastic way to try to make that point. After watching some recent movies on Baja, I have all the respect in the world for Ivan Stewart.
