Wondering if i should get a volkswagen bus or not?

As a mom of a 20 year old, a former Hippie and owner of a 64 Turkish Standard Bus, my advice is to keep your Chevy S10 as your daily driver, buy the best split window bus you can find for your money (watch for rust underneath), take your time, learn to fix it up and work on them yourself, there's lots of help out there and on the web. It might take a while to get it to be a roadworthy warrior, BUT a good split window bus is only going to INCREASE in value. And the FUN factor, let's just say it's better than any pot I used to smoke!!
