THE BUS BECAME A POP-CULTURE ICON
The VW Bus appeared in the 1980s classics Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Back to the Future. More recently, it played a part in Pixar’s Cars (2006), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and the TV show Lost. And it’s served as a tangible object meant to easily get across the point that “the driver is a hippie” in countless other shows, movies, and books. Oh, and it really is true: Racing a Volkswagen Bus against a DeLorean powered by plutonium is a terrible idea.
