Pierre's first VW micro-bus "Minerva" was impounded by the Philadelphia Parking Authority and later crushed in a junkyard.

Pierre Robert often declared on the air, "God Bless the Grateful Dead."
 At the beginning of their concert at the old Spectrum on October 7, 1994, he presented the band with a flag recognizing their 50th performance at that venue.

In 2001, WMMR threw a party at The Philadelphia Spectrum for Pierre Robert's 20th anniversary and gave him a 1972 Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) Westfalia to replace his old 1970 VW mini-bus.
This new bus was named "Minerva 2" in honor of the original Minerva that drove him from California to Pennsylvania.

In 2002, "Minerva 2" was driven by Pierre Robert in the 93.3 WMMR Ozz-Fund, a four-day fundraiser to collect money for the Fox Chase Cancer Center in the name of Ozzy Osbourne's wife Sharon Osbourne.
Robert drove all over the Delaware Valley collecting donations from fans and station listeners
Throughout the first 25 days of November 2006, WMMR paid tribute to Pierre for his 25 years of service to the station.

In November 2011, Bob Beru of the Beru Revue played a show at The World Cafe Live in honor of Pierre's 30th year with WMMR.

In September 2012, the owners of the building that houses WMMR threatened to have "Minerva 2" towed.
She was in pretty rough shape (tires flat, holes in the floorboard, and window broken).
After considering all the options, Pierre was approached by CollisionMax about restoring Minerva.
Minerva was completely restored by CollisionMax and custom airbrushing was done by Franny Drummond of PaintZoo.
Rich Tornetta (Director of Marketing for CollisionMax) recorded weekly videos documenting the repair work done on the VW bus.
