• Vanagon Stuff

  I was searching for a list of movies with Vanagons in them. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. But the benefit of searching on the 'net is that sometimes you hit the motherlode. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

  The Internet Movie Cars Database, which is exactly what it sounds like. And here's their Vanagon page.

  I got started on this because someone linked to a trailer for the mid-80s film 'Mac and Me,' in which the main characters are traveling in a Vanagon. I think I'm going to go rent it, because it took product placement to a whole new level. It was basically funded by the Coca-Cola corporation. The story is about aliens stranded on earth. They have to drink Coke or they die. There's a scene in a McDonald's where... Well, I'm just going to show it to you.

  And also, thanks to this search, I find: The Wayward Saint (warning: Music):
  

  [..] I've been alot of things in my life...husband, father, musician, magazine writer, youth leader, conspiracy webzine editor, maytag repairman, insurance salesman, and a print shop worker just to name a few. I've had the pleasure of traveling around the world more than most people, and I gotta tell you, it's a wonderful, horrible, beautiful, ugly place out there. I love Guinness, Fine Cigars, Whiskey, my 86 Vanagon and Jesus. I suppose that should do it.
