And they stole my idea for a drag version of the VW Van...

Story: In 1994/1995 I frequented rec.models.net or something like that, and they had a "what model would you like to see" thread. I didn't like their options and submitted "Volkswagen Drag Bus" as my choice. 2 years later, Hot Wheels released theirs.
