The Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down for the final time in July of 2011 and the program has been officially mothballed because apparently 17 billion dollars a year is not enough money for NASA to...I dunno...fly to the moon and back weekly. As the space shuttle sits idle and NASA pays folks money to lay in bed for 70 days straight, the various bits of shuttle support junk is being wholesaled to bidders via gov't auction sites. Find this 1985 Dodge Van Dually offered for a starting bid of $199 via gsaauctions.gov. Tip from Kaibeezy.
As a gov't surplus vehicle you might get lucky and find some cool stuff on the inside, maybe an old Geiger counter or a lump of plutonium, who knows, it could be your lucky day for awesome NASA detritus!!
See a cooler van to live, work, or take over the world in? tips@dailyturismo.com
Dammit, how many Kaibezzys (ies?) do we have out there? The GOVT doesn't know their selling this yet and he's got it posted already? Sounds like a HOMELAND guy with a little too much resource at-hand.
ReplyDeletePS- I want this thing just to piss people off. Park it in a single space and tell they're having acid flashbacks when they complain.

DeleteHow about:
ReplyDelete1) take quantity from Cheaper By The Dozen,
2) merge with concept of Back To The Future,
3) apply Wayne's World transformation
4) =shoestring Hollywood hit
The market for this thing is Burning Man. The time to list it was 2 months ago. Way to go, government.
ReplyDeleteI would put the white Facebook logotype on the blue stripe, tint the windows dark, add some weird-looking cameras and sonar gear to the roof, then creep through the Mission at idle speed and let people wonder.
Technically it's a tandem, not a dually.
ReplyDeletePaging Danny from Count's Kustoms...
ReplyDeleteYup. Tandem.
