Here's a guy and his van down by the river with his dog.
The most practical vehicle out there, of course that might be my biased opinion as I'm on Van number six.

They're useful though, the vans at my old job were great. Could toss the tools in and not worry about sticky fingers and rain.

Around here we got a ton of old Prospector dudes driving ancient trucks with gnarly looking campers on the back that look like they should be in a landfill. They are all over the place. Walked by one dude in the hardware store parking lot and he was reading a nudie magazine in the middle of the afternoon- nice!
i love vans shoes

Wish I still had it thanks for the link that's pretty cool.
Pull up To the grade school to pick up and the other moms just got out of her way. It had headers and side pipes. So mean.
Done so far:
2" lift
235 75 15 tires
2" receiver
Painted bottom portion with "Truck Bed Liner"
This bed will lift up for storage underneath, and will also extend over to the passenger side, for a "double bed" when my wife joins me.
Lastly, this is my kitchen area. I have added a sink and faucet, which draws directly out of the water jug on the left.
I also have place a "Coleman" sticker on my cooler, in hopes that it will thwart any thieves.
I wonder how many will "get it" as they pass me by? (That was a trial run.
I have a die cut sticker there now.)
Why?
For shits and giggles.
I also am going to get an Idaho vanity plate.
"B TEME"
Hey, let's be honest: I am not "A TEAM" material.
(B TEAM and B TEEM are already taken, so this is the best I can muster, unless somebody else has a better idea.)
I'm not even sure if I've seen one on the road yet, and no used ones on craigslist yet.
I'm a fan of the Astro line. Have you been on their Forum site, they would like what you have done.
I have this Silver 99 that's basically OEM with a few mods.
About 8 months ago I found Goldie, this other 99 Astro for sale for 1100 bucks with 150,00 miles on it.
I couldn't turn it down so this replaced my 1990 Astro with 210,000 miles that I sold for $900 bones.
I use this van for my SUMMER daily driver and local Bike/Lake weekend hauler.
Keep the other 99 in the garage away from the brutal paint peeler sun, keep the mileage down (90,000) and save it for road trips. Probably be my last van and I want to preserve it.
So basically I got a 9-year newer van with 60,000 less miles has more features and is in better shape for $200.
When I hear guys spending between 40 and $60,000 on pickup trucks it just blows my mind.
If it's a work truck and you can write it off then that makes more sense but just for pleasure, is crazy talk.
I don't have that kind of dough, for chrissakes that cost half of what my house did about 20 years ago!

He took the pic from his T5 Multivan. Edit: Identical to the one pictured below.
My brother's T5 Caravelle. Edit: There's a T4 Transporter parked behind it.
