1970 Volkswagen Westfalia Campmobile

Name: Tom and Pam Ruckhaber, Spokane, 56 and “50-ish,” respectively.

Purchased: July 2001.

Why We love it: The bus is just fun to drive. The best view in the world is looking out the front windshield at the open road. It’s great to know that, at the end of the day, anywhere you choose to park can be your home for the night. Our grandkids (Lauren, Sarah, Belle and Brady) love “da bus” (as they call it) and so do most people … unless they happen to be behind it but, hey!, it’s a bus … of course it’s slow!

Our next car will be: Something faster!
