"Grasshopper" Unlike some "Whippersnapper" I know, at least I have some hair to put flowers in .
Scott, My alternate life style started when I " Began Hanging" out with VW nuts as a hobby and did not "cut and Run" when I had the chance. You will never see nor hear the "In Coming" Dasher parts.
As far as "Frisco" goes , this is whats cool. Linda and I hung out for a while in "The Haight " . For all you Hippy wannabe's, this is where it all began. All the old Hippies are still there. The only difference is now they are in their 60's and 70's , own and operate very up-scale eateries, music stores, art galleries, rare book stores, vintage 60's stuff.
What do they drive? How about Bentley R's , 911's , Lambo's and restored big American iron like mid 60's Caddies, Buick's "vert's"and piles of Vespa motorscooters. The kids have the old hippy VW vans . Alot of them would make" Homer The Super Bus" look like a brand new Euro-Van.
Whats sad is that there are a lot of young homeless kids in transit through there. I don't know if they just show up thinking that Haight-Ashbury is just the same as it was in the 60's or what. I did see several older guys wearing different T shirts from surpport groups talking to a lot of them. Really sad to see them standing on the street with this "I don't have a clue" on whats going on look in their eyes.
