Westfalia Musings

Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted a Volkswagen camper van. I. My parents had a beige one that we used to take on family camping trips in the summer.
the van wasn't very good on hills and we had to put my uncle in a lawn chair in the middle of the car when there weren’t enough seats for everyone, but there is something that appeals to me about traveling around and having everything you need with you.

But then I grew up. And developed a guilt complex about cars. I love my bike, but there is a part of me that still wants a van to take on weekend trips. So how do I reconcile my dual nature? My conflicting values? (Does this sound familiar?) I have decided to look into whether a Westfalia or VW Van have diesel engines and could be converted into a bio diesel van. Maybe I could install a solar panel on the top, so that I could collect energy for the evening. But the question remains: would this satisfy the energy karma gods?
