I AM A LONGTIME Volkswagen bus owner and driver who calls the Chicago region home. My current example is a Campmobile painted Velvet Green that has been our escape pod since 1996. I’m just its second owner, and since obtaining it, the icon has been a big partannual fun that provided a connection to the people and places we cherish. Over the years, though, we tried to combat the slow accumulation of Midwest rust bit by bit, given our humble budget and parts availability.
