Yeah, except the occupants of a hippie VW would never have used the word 
"gear." "Stuff," perhaps, but never "gear."  I'm waiting for the day when 
we'll see a battered Lexus SC300 (no ugly spoilers on the SC300) wiv at 
least one primer-coated fender, some "empties" rollin' around on the floor, 
and a battered hardcover _GR_ ostentatiously displayed atop a badly-cracked 
dashboard.               -jm
