Todd: Simon, you said your family had a volkswagen van.

Simon: That's right. It was awesome.

Todd: Wow, that's cool. You know when I was in high school, I had a Volkswagen van.

Simon: Yeah, they're pretty cool aren't they?

Todd: Ah man, I loved my Volkswagen Van.

Simon: Well, why?

Todd: Well, because I played sports and so I played baseball, basketball, football and all of my teammates would get in my van and I would drive us to and from practice or to games and so it was very convenient. I was like the little bus driver for the team.

Simon: Yeah. Well, you said & quot;bus & quot;. Is that, did you call it a van or a bus?

Todd: Actually, in California we call it the Volkswagen Bus. Yeah, do you call it the bus or the van?

Simon: I think that either was OK or both were OK. Yeah, my family had the camperized van. Which had a refrigerator and a table and a bed and a pop-up top to fit another bed, like a loft.

Todd: Wow! Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Simon: At least four people quite comfortably in a camper van. Pretty cool.

Todd: Yeah. Actually, mine didn't have the camper. It had a flat area in back of the van but not a bed and it did have a small sink, although I never had water hooked up to my van, so I never used it. I just used it for school so..

Simon: Yeah, my best friend had a van in high school as well and he was really popular there because he could fit a lot of people in.

Todd: So my van was all white. What color was yours?

Simon: Ah, my parents' van was also white. My friend's van was black and white and had a skull on the front. Yeah, so it looked like a a pirate van or pirate bus, not a pirate ship but a pirate van. It was pretty cool at the time. You know.

Todd: Yeah. I actually, I have many nice memories of my van and I wish I still had one today.

Simon: Yeah, me too.

Todd: Yeah. Does your family still have it?

Simon: No, they don't. Ah, time to move on I guess. They thought.

Todd: Yeah. I think I sold my van because I didn't think it was cool after awhile. I had it for three years and then I wanted a nice sports car, so I got rid of it. Yeah, I kind of regret it but I guess that's just normal.

Simon: Of course everybody likes their old cars, don't they?
