This next car comes as a tip from Kester who writes: On my shortlist of possible VW Eurovans. Ohhh...zing! Hacking 3 feet of length out of your van sorta defeats the purpose of having a van in the first place...but given the choice betwix this and a Smart Car...I'd drive this short bus. Handling will be sketchier than the time I replaced my steering coupler with slinky, but the muppet skin seat covers will absorb any pooh that might leak out when you change lanes on the highway. Find this 1993 Volkswagen Eurovan offered for $1200 in St. Cloud, MN via craigslist.

I am seeing a European remake of Dumb & Dumber financed by the Spanish Hapsburgs through the WHO in our future starring Bill Gates & Tom Hanks chasing the Countess of Chinchon. Ah, the wonderful history of chemistry - https://edu.rsc.org/feature/jesuits-powder-and-quinine/2020179.article
ReplyDeleteCan't the stoners match the front and rear wheels at least?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you can't turn it if you install the 20" wheels on it.
ReplyDeleteI first thought this was cool. Then I started thinking about all of the custom fabrication work that would need to be inspected prior to purchase... and how much of that could need to be finished or reworked. Then I saw the miles and the mention of rust and bondo. Now my brain hurts.
ReplyDeleteThis is an online 20-footer (as opposed to an in-person 20-footer). I can only appreciate this one while standing 20 feet from my computer screen. Any closer and it looks like a nightmare.
Them rear wheels be a bit redonkulous...
