<VV> rampside causing me problems

[aircooled6 at prodigy.net]

I have noticed this syndrome in my Greenbrier  (Off-white with Tan  
stripe).  Besides driving it almost exclusively for daily  
transportation, I deliver pizzas in it 4 days a week.  People come  
out of their houses and walk to the curb to look at the truck,   
neighbors included. Some have called for the kids to come out and see  
it since its the only one they have ever seen in person.   I have now  
had 6 different people FOLLOW ME back to the store to check out the  
truck and chat.  (one could get a little weirded out by that, but Ive  
gotten used to it, the Pizza Store Manager just shakes his head and  
laughs now, although at first he couldn't understand what was going  
on).  Even carry-out customers will see me pull in and come outside  
to chat.

My 67 4 door still attracts attention, but the van is a completely  
different experience.

I think a Rampy would be even more so, Ill have to get one and  
see!!!  (Now, if only I could win the lotto so I could get one!)

I hope you enjoy the attention!  I find it fun.
