Split Bus does make the most sense but I would also say there is frequently a lot of discussion there too, not just non-stop whining about prices.
I know this is true for Type 3 as well and probably Bay Window
(I read the Bay Whines but haven't paid as close attention)

Not saying who has the most but the Bay Window Bus folks are the most obnoxious and off-the-wall.

Yeah, I know that it's also a reflection of the number of members and vehicles, but I thought I'd stir some $hit to start the morning!
So this is the "whine about the whine threads" thread!

You would whine too if you barfed up your 401K to change into your wetsuit, and then Braziliam Splits come in at 1/3 what you paid...
T4 T5 T6 T7 Whine pages.....3
Just sayin....
