"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE ... it has been in our family for 28 years. The kids and dogs were transported, camped and played in it. Through rain and sleet and 2.5 engines over 300,000 miles we have kept Kermit going. Lindsey, our eldest, was married recently and had to have Kermit as the Bridemobile. It's a great car full of fantastic memories."

Man, I sure miss the 1973 Westphalia camper I owned while in college in the mid-1980s. Great road tripping memories. And its strapped-to-the-front-of-a-missile design ensured that I never followed anyone too closely!

Looks like it is in great shape for 300k miles...
