The bus rendered above is Luke's 1971 bus, sketched Richard Scarry-style by Luke, simply because his books and artwork had such an influence on him growing up. Purchased a lowly and solid 1971 Volkswagen Deluxe Sunroof Transporter during the summer of 2009 from an nice lady who had stored it for eighteen years. Let's see where this leads.

Oh, nothing. Just a simple site for shorturls (see Shaun Inman's "lessn") that ended up being a great place to garage info on one of my hobbies.
Before this 1971 bus, I had a 1960 VW Kombi (13 window standard) that was never fully realized and in a moment of weekness was sold. I'm pretty sure my current project isn't going anywhere …else.
