Kombes
Sitting in front. it has never been a big deal to me. it always seemed like power issue, so i avoided it. but i have found i do like to sit in front of Kombes. being a Volkswagon bus, in front you are right there–practically on top of the bumper. I still brace myself for getting hit when we pull up close to the car in front of us, expecting them to hit our hood. Also, in a Kombe, you (normally) can only squish four people in there, and there is no limit to how many you can squish in the back. the only risk of sitting up front is being stuck next to the driver, with the stick shift between your legs. it is an awkward and difficult process for the both of you to change gears. but this morning i got front, by the window–the best seat of all. and i let my hair dry in the wind.
