I do like Chloe. She may be a Jersey girl but certainly no Jersey Looker. She looks so innocent standing there under that rainbow.

I have fears though. Soon she will venture West and be far from the familiar surroundings of home. What will the Hereford's say? Do they get along with Jersey cows? The thought of such a sweet looking girl being bull-ied by some ill-willing Hereford makes me shudder. Does she know what she is getting into?

Move cows! Don't you know you're not supposed to be on the road? Where's your farmer?

Getting? Many many many many years ago, I drew pictures of Volkswagens on my desks in Middle School, many many many years ago, I bought a VW bus to park next to Mr. Cool's Datsun 240Z, many many years ago I thought, what is a 350,000 mile bus to do, let's drive it across the country year after year, many years ago I said, retirement account? job? and I named a bus Chloe last week and I'm GETTING soft in th head?

Many many years ago, back in my hometown, there used to be a white bus running around with black painted splotches in a pretty decent Hereford pattern. Thankfully the owner refrained from mounting a pair of horns on the front (or a pair of testes on the back), but there was a tiny little pucker painted right above the rear hatch handle. :bootyshake:

I seem to recall that the vanity plate read "DAISY".

If there is one thing I can rely on from my fellow human beings, it is the continual expressions of exceptionally good taste.

I like Chloe. It matches your bus. I have yet to name mine. I haven't driven her enough to sense her character yet.
My baja is called Booger cause it was Flourecent Green (Not Kidding!) Since it got rolled she is all different colors, still ugly, still called Booger :drunken:

So, you'd spell that using the dieresis:
Chloë

My daughter Zoë does that, so that it is clear that it is not pronounced "Zo".

So, is Chloë making the rounds this year?

I am expecting so. That bus has so much little work that needs to be done on it, that it is like a candy store for me.
However, I will have to have a long chat with the engine, it has no idea what's coming . . . :colors:

Did you ever have a chat with Len Hoffman about your incorrect-valve-size theory?
