The End of the Road for the VW Bus

For those of us my age or older, this is a sad passing of an icon of the 60s and 70s. I never owned one, but I spent many happy and eventful hours in VW buses running around San Francisco and Los Angeles. Several years ago, I worked with a fellow who still had an original VW bus and we used to use it to go between office locations. Growing up in San Francisco, there is a system of jitney buses and back in the 60s to the late 70s, VW buses were a staple of the jitney routes and I used to ride them frequently to and from work or to get to downtown quickly...
