 Saw this '73 VW "Love Bus" outside of a local video store we pass on the way to Wally-world (aka Walmart). Usually these things are covered with flowers and peace signs ala the hippie culture of the late '60's and early '70's. Strange to see one made up like this. I hoped it would still be there when we passed by on the way home so that I could get a few pics. It was but it was dark and this was all the illumination my flash could muster.

Really interesting paint job. And the lighting suits the subject well.

LOL an evil microbus...Love it. Almost feel the fact that you havent got it fully illuminated works better for this shot as it makes it more threatening.

If stephen king had written Christine about a VW this would have been the outcome

And you are so brave to get up so close, in the dark, to capture this image! (I'm a complete chicken when it comes to my overactive imagination) I think it's so funny too. Great colors and lighting. What an odd find, for sure!

What a great find! Very funny paint job, and I particularly love the devil-girl and monster head in the front window... makes me wonder what the owner is like :-)

HaHA! I love it!!! Especially the "insanity claus". Every VW needs to be painted like this.
