The Elder of My Tribe lives in a bus

I would add that the tattooed bus-skateshop owner, Tony, represents the reanimated return of a more ominous beatnik alternative masculinity lost when Kahuna-Butch, the older leader of the surfer gang in Gidget, forsakes “bohemian surfdom as an immature and lonely way of life” (Medovoi 2005, 304). The very presence of the strange bus on the fringe of the stultifying parking lot denoted a capacity for survival and a bare-knuckle persistence permanently existent on the edges of straight society.
