Recently I've gotten to see some of the things I've never been able to see in person until now...

A. Rhein wheels installed on a white syncro.... 

In person these are truly beautiful wheels... for some reason viewing them on a web site never really enthusied me... in this case there were some really toothy tires installed on the wheel... There must be something about seeing something in person, that when you later see a photo of it... the mind recreates some of the experience of the real time viewing of the same  object... If I had seen rheins in person, like if they had been standard in the US, then I imagine viewing any photo of a rhein would have elicited a postive responce... 

B. Bull Bar bumpers.. installed in the rear only with front carat bumpers still installed in the front ... the hitch in the rear bumper is placed below the lower tube... 

This is a combination that works well... so its not true that you would need to buy both or nothing... In fact, it might even look better this way... 

C. Thule 21 cuft Alantis...

Saw this in a store... not installed... think it will look really good on a vanagon though... 

D. A homeless woman grunting and squealing as she hobbled up the stairs.. she smelt like piss... and was trying to make to the restroom.. only the restroom was downstairs... so she had to hobble grunt and squeal going back down the stairs, intermittently pausing to rest... 

Its hard work. Being alive...
