    they are also called Kombi in other parts of the world.

    Hell no your not the only one. I've been wanting one since I was a little kid. I actually know a guy out here that has one sitting in his backyard along with tons of other cars he has. No need asking about it right now though, I have no money....lol

    One of the biggest. If they make parts for aircooled beetles, they make parts for these. Don't even worry there!

    I fucking LOVE buses! I used to sell air cooled VW parts back in the day and I have seen some pretty awesome ones. 23 Window FTW!

    I have got a '72 super beetle and '72 karmin ghia and have been wanting a bus for a while. VWs are one of the easiest things to ever work on, and the aftermarket is huge. You can literally order a complete vw in parts and put it together lol. Plus takes like twenty minutes to pull the engine, another twenty to tear it down.
