Jimmy: "Jimmy" is our 1979 Volkswagen Transporter 2, A.K.A. Hippie Bus.  Jimmy serves Visions Magazine as our mobile billboard, Christmas parade vehicle, festival booth, kid picker-upper, AYSO team carrier and more.  Jimmy was purchased from Ebay and was picked up in rural Virginia in October of '07.  As you might have guessed the name "Jimmy" is in hour of two of our favorite 60's musical artists Jimmy Hendrix and Jim Morrison.  When you see "Jimmy" cruising around town you can bet he'll be playing some Doors, Mamma's and the Pappas, Jimmy Hendrix, ABBA, The Guess Who or some other 60's early 70's music inside.  Editor Note:  If you ever see feet sticking out from under "Jimmy".... someone is looking for a ride or a friendly tow.
