Here's the true acid test: Ken Kesey's daughter Stephanie is trying to raise funds to restore her dad's famous (infamous?!) Further Bus, of Tom Wolfe's seminal Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test fame. She says the bus is deteriorating and in danger of being lost to history. Funds would also go "to promote and preserve the legacy of author Ken Kesey": http://www.gofundme.com/SaveFurthur&pc=nl_2013_03_20
   This is not the first time the old bus has been given a chance at a second life. Back in 2006, Kesey's son Zane and others pulled it out of a swamp on the Kesey family farm, picked off the moss, and fixed it up: http://www.today.com/id/10792061/ns/today-entertainment/t/ken-keseys-original-magic-bus-being-restored/#.UU4BCBmgHgc
