Mike Watt is just plain cool.
On a slightly braggy note: He used to let my old band practice in his army barracks rehearsal spot in San Pedro. It was a total punk rock dive inside but had the same kind of unpretentious cool as his unassuming plain white econo.
Mike Watt is great  |

Some contractors have the same "do what works for you" attitude about their vans. One contractor had a system of two shelves that ran the entire length of the back of the van... just a few inches high each. One for plywood, and one for lumber... and he still had a workable floor above that for his tools.

I drive/ride in one of those Ford vans to work and back 4 times a week. You get those crosswinds whipping up off of the Salt Flats or the West Desert, and it makes the trip a bit of a white knuckler.
