Thankfully it's an E65, so no discernible cosmetic damage was done to the front end.

Looks like his car was pretty badly Bangled in the crash.

At the end of the episode the "winner" that NEVER broke down, and needed no special maintenance or anything was deemed the VW. It did go all the way with them as punishment vehicle but someone was always driving it. (not the hosts of course)

for a while it turns to water cooled bug

Lawn Guyland is the Northern version of Florida.

A sad day indeed, for there is one less 4x4 XJ on the road. *tear*

80 and 78.

I basically love it, except for one thing.

I hope this trend moves eastward.

Simpsons: Always relevant.

nicely executed

Grew up with one and the middle bench seat was so much better than the captain's chairs. We could just drop the whole bench out, take it down to the beach and use it as seating next to the fire pit. That van took me to San Francisco every winter from Orange County and on more road trips across the country than I can…

So is it safe to say. the Previa is always the right answer?

I felt I was "stuck" with one of these during college, but actually it drove very well, had the supercharger and could haul 4x8 sheets of wood. Unfortunately my parents found out it had a terrible one star crash rating and got rid of it.

Damn it Jalopnik, you people are seriously making me want one of these. They look so good when they're lowered, too.

My friend in high school had one with over 200,000 miles on it. It was the go to vehicle when our group of friends wanted to go somewhere. We nicknamed it the "Black Hawk" for its likeness in our minds to a black hawk military helicopter.

We called it the 'Ninja Turtle Van' * soo many memories.. The engine placement, rear wheel drive, sooooo many memories? classic , Hands down WINNER,!!

You could also get some versions with a manual! If it was diesel, it would have hit the Jalop quad-fecta!

The God of Minivans. The mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive, supercharged, sportsvan.

Clearly you've never parked in Hoboken.
