Tom is driving through rural Maine, looking for cars left out in the open, hoping they might lead to something hidden inside a barn. To his surprise, he spots several rare Volkswagen Buses parked outside a warehouse, hinting at something much bigger.

As it turns out, you don’t need to own a VW Bus to get the full experience. Meet Joe. Joe runs two businesses out of his storage warehouse, and if you’re a VW enthusiast, you’re going to love both.

The first is a complete parts website, https://bustedbus.store, built directly around the factory parts manual. The second is a rental business, https://www.vintagevanadventures.com, where Joe outfits each Bus or Westfalia with a modern VW engine, allowing them to keep up with today’s traffic and making them perfect for road trips, vacations, and camping.
