    I actually dont mind the Scooby Doo thing .My brothers joke about that all the time with me. I was a kid, I liked Scooby. But i really dont like it when people call it a bus, or little bus. Heck its a panel van. I guess bus reminds me of "micro-bus" i.e. VW., and thats not my thing. And when i think of "cool" i dont think of a bus.

    In the late 60's everyone called my van a truck.
    I had to educate them.."it's a van"
    Hippie van and microbus came later

    Blame it on Ford!

    Its not a bus... 19612010

    I guess the marketing guys at Ford were capitalizing on the VW Micro-bus thing.

    Back in the 70's , when I was a member of "midwest vans" we were all proud to call ours "f---trucks, but not around our girlfriend's father.
