Dancin bear stickers dont mean anything really . I feel as though I own my own bay at the border. Im friendly with the sniffing dog..they already know all the hiding spots..ive shown them just so I can move on...

Over the years ive learned they dont like the use of the word "profiling" so now i just use the term "Formative assumption". I dont think they get that one:smile:

Something tells me that if I didnt drive this....the formative assumption would be alot less...

One time I was supposed to be arrested because I was driving with suspended license in NY and the state trooper let me off with my car so I drove to work, but I did not take the highway.

Shes not a syncro. In 86 my parents spent six months in Europe with a caravan. They did a tour of the VW factory and had this specifically made for them(along with the other 34 couples that caravan together). The blue stripe was factory(Standard models are either single tone or two tone only). It was necessary to mark the vehicles in case someone in the caravan got lost.

When they were done with the trip they had an option to turn it back into VW (they would decommission the vehicle) or they could have it shipped over here. We received it March 97, I hopped in her and spent 5 months following the dead thru their spring/summer tour. Its in mint shape, everything original, only 35 made of this unit. Automatic, AC, full custom westy package... True European model, everything inside German. Its never seen Snow or salt. It stays inside until Spring. I pulled it out last week actually. They do handle well in the Winter. Syncro is good for off road stuff lol...

Its a great machine. My sons and I do stagehand work for music bands and venues. It allows us to travel quickly to the next stop. Rock bands love it lol.

its a new world however, now that we have these police cams, and (apparently) you have the right to obtain that video. In the old days this would have been a non-event except to the folks who were stopped. Good on them for pursuing it to this extent.

Very cool story!!

My brother has a syncro version (one color) running around the streets of Burlington. I think his is an '88. He put a TDI in it and people stop him all the time and always ask him if its 4wd (the syncro's sit higher). Enjoy.

My closest friend is a retired cop thankfully he is not at all an Ahole and even he hates cops. He says that basically no matter how clean you are they are scrutinizing everything you do looking for something.

Very cool. Though I think you have your years mixed up. No such thing as "the dead" in 1997 ;) Maybe you meant 1987.

As the fat man sang, "All the years combine, they melt into a dream....." :beer:

Yeah pretty sure " '87 " was a typo ...don't think it takes 11 YEARS to ship a vehical from Germany.
