Why is a 1967 Volkswagen Bus On the Side of the Road in New Paltz

Driving through New Paltz the other night on my way home I had to do a double take. As I rounded a familiar corner I was suddenly struck with by an object from my past. As I rolled by I craned my neck to get a second look, yes I had just seen a 1967 Volkswagen Bus parked on the side of the road.

It wasn't hard to see that it couldn't have been driven to the spot where it was parked. The tires were flat and the rest of the vehicle was long past being able to pass inspection but somehow it managed to find itself parked in a prime spot for everyone to see it.
