Just because the Grateful Dead aren't touring much doesn't mean you can't cure your Mexicali blues with a Microbus. Legions of fanatics gather regularly across the world to camp, commingle, and carouse. Parts are readily available, thanks in large part to the Beetle connection, and the simple mechanicals are generally easy to fix-even on the side of the road.
