	Hollister 1978 Volkswagen Microbus winner Lizzy Marola - Click above for high-res image gallery</div>
<br />
Hollister and Facebook have teamed up to take social media to new and lofty heights. The clothing company just wrapped up a contest in which users were invited to submit photos of their derri&egrave;res in Hollister jeans. Both guys and girls could enter for a chance to take home one very awesome, custom 1978 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/volkswagen">Volkswagen</a> Microbus, complete with all the surf gear you'd need to at least pretend like you're a beach bum. Facebook users were invited to judge the competing rears and vote on their favorites, and one rump stood above the rest.<br />
<br />
Lizzy Marola entered the contest at a Hollister store on a whim and wound up winning the eyes of enough voters to take home the bus of her dreams. Marola is a freshman at Coastal Carolina University, so there's at least some chance that those long boards will hit the water in the near future.<br />
<br />
The Microbus was delivered to Marola at her home in Torrington, Connecticut recently on a trailer before being inspected and registered.
