Getting out is easy. Having a ride after that is hard.

VP? Only while in office. Afterwards? No one cares what the former VP does.

He is also a geonerd. Has a degree in geography and taught it as well. Uses and understands GIS. +1 for us geographers.  Recent talk about a month ago at the ESRI Users Conference out in San Diego.  

Right? I could be perfectly happy driving every future mile of my life in a truck like that, arm out on the open windowsill, just barely driving the speed limit, and enjoying the faint scent of oil and gasoline. 

That dog is definitely a campaign asset.

An actual cool story, bro.

I mean it’s been heavily refurbed and retrofitted anyway, so go for it.

It must be weird to drive this and nearly be able to look modern pickup drivers in the eye.

This is one of the vehicles I was obsessed with as a kid.  There’s nothing else really like it.  It’s a weird, tall, stylish bus-thing that was built to wow people with SCIENCE.

This thing would be killer for football tailgates

I read his Wikipedia as soon as he was picked. He’s an impressive dude. I like him. We are a military family and I would appreciate having someone in the Vice Presidency who has served this country in that way and understands what that means and the impact serving has on families and even communities. He’s been a…

Gotta say he seems like a very down-to-earth and rational person. The Scout thing is some sweet icing on the cake.

It’s a Herkimer battle jitney!

Other potential VP candidates who just missed the cut:

If GM doesn’t actually own any of these, it might be time for them to buy one back. They really are just promotional vehicles and no amount of altering them can change their intended use without changing their overall look. I mean, they have no windows so you can’t use it as a repurposed RV. It won’t work as a toy…

My band played on the other Peter Pan Futureliner at a car show a bunch of years ago (can’t miss that one, it’s green). I will tell you from experience, it’s not an ideal stage in any possible way.

If I had stupid money, I would buy this and turn it into an RV. I don’t, so you can keep your comments about preserving automotive history to yourself ya haters. 

If I had a spare cool million, I would. And I’d drive the hell out of it too, really enjoy it. It’ll probably end up a static exhibit in some billionaire’s show garage though. Wealth is wasted on the rich.

Even well made Electric Cars are a nightmare when they catch fire, I can’t even begin to imagine how bad Mister “Move Fast and Break Things” cars are.

The way things are going, you’d think they just find a Ted Striker in the passenger cabin and go from there.
