Why would you need a house or apartment when you own a shaggin' wagon like that?! Just killing it honestly... Gawd how come I was born in '89 and missed all the good times?!!
Having a roomy and comfortable ride wasn't enough on its own.
Lol! Love it. Ironically, I lost getting a gig in one of my earliest bands because my rival had a van to haul everyone’s butt to the shows, etc. Funnier still, it looked similar to yours, but yours looks way more tricked out than his.
As noted in this thread when these have come up, I still have my Mattel Baseball, and it still works great!
My van was a lot of fun. It even had an icebox refrigerator, sink, table, couch that turned into a bed with a mirror above the bed, shag carpeting, swivel captain chairs, mag wheels, and more.
...and a bumper sticker that said, If this vans-a-rockin' dont come a-knockin'
Man: "Hey, babe...let me take you to the beach in my van. When we get there, we'll lay on the sand and play chess. You, of course, will be wearing a rather skimpy bikini."
A while back I was filling up my car and the guy on the other side of the pump had a 90's Ram single cab in really good shape (you don't see many anymore especially here in The Midwest). I complimented him on it and asked if it was a 318 and he told me it was actually a 360. I think it was some sort of city work vehicle so didn't have many miles. For some reason GM was able to get good economy out of 350ci but generally the similarly sized Ford 351's and Mopar 360's are a lot thirstier.
A slice of real life.
For decades I thought a custom Lincoln Continental was the ultimate pimpmobile, and it turns out a tricked-out van is king!

So...Lincoln or Cadillac for pimpmobile supremacy?
That car must a .38 under the driver's seat.
Tricked-out van still says 'rapey' to me.For decades I thought a custom Lincoln Continental was the ultimate pimpmobile, and it turns out a tricked-out van is king!
Actually it was a .22 S&W when my grandpa drove it... Should've been a Colt .45 to really scare the bad people!
Don’t remember the year but I was a kid and was in Panama City Beach one summer with the family. We pulled up to a red light behind a custom van and it had a bumper sticker on it that read, “Don’t laugh, your daughter might be in here.”
