    I guess you haven’t been to Asia. Luxury vans, especially the Alphard, are the preferred transport of most plutocrats, politicians, etc. People who buy them are basically cross shopping them against S-Classes.

    One thing people need to remember about Japanese car design. With small their streets are, and how crowded cities are in general, they don’t really focus on the overall silhouette of the car, like other designers do. Instead, since people are usually always looking at a car from up close, there’s more focus on small,

    Because the Alphard is better than the Sprinter in almost any way. It’s straight up designed to be a luxury van from the start, and not just something converted from a box van. You can’t even get a utility version of the Alphard. No self respecting Chinese taipan would get a Sprinter - that’s what his delivery fleet

    You should do it like the average Chinese plutocrat. The kids are in their own luxury van, with their own nannies and drivers, separate from you. So you can grumble in peace about how grandma should just come to you, I mean, she does have a private helicopter after all.

    Not in Asia. These sell more than luxury SUVs here. Besides, outside of something like the Cullinan, you can’t get a luxury SUV with this kind of space, and even that doesn’t come with the divider.

    You don’t drive your kids in one of these (there isn’t even a third row for them). You buy them their own minivan, complete with driver, nannies, and bodyguards. And I’m seriously not joking, this is how most Chinese plutocrats do it.

    These aren’t meant to carry families though. Most don’t even have the third row anymore, in favor of giving the second row limousine sized space.

    You’re supposed to be sucking it straight from the tube, not squeezing it out.

    Now playing

    He was probably a bit distracted thinking about the Carlton.

    Sounds like a shell company of sorts for Storey and/or Sullivan to hide money made illicitly elsewhere.

    For this particular Alu-Cab though, you’re going to have to cut the roof out for it.

    This is assuming the passenger had been properly briefed. If not, the the yellow color only serves to catch their eye. 

    60 series is nice, but a 70 series, specifically a 76 troop carrier is better.

    Depends on where you’re overlanding. Australia’s Canning Stock Route is a 1,150 mile trek across most of the interior of western Australia, through the Little Sandy Desert, on an old cattle route. Overlanding through it takes roughly 15 to 20 days. There’s only one place to get fuel in the middle of it all, though

    It’s a nice vehicle, but if you have access to it, a Land Cruiser 78 “Troopy” is probably the best vehicle to use as an overland platform.

    Technically, Wrestlemania is already split into two night. We had TakeOver the night before for the NXT side of things. 

    Doesn’t the bar in the bed just make taking the top out a bit harder?

    The Mk. 16 doesn’t use overhead grab handles though. It’s a little handle poking up in between their legs. Maybe it was cramping them in the seat and they thought they could move it out of the way.

    The Mk. 16's loud handle is between the persons legs, not overhead. If the passenger wasn’t briefed correctly (or wasn’t listening), it might have looked like something for them to onto dear life for.

    Person sits in jet, experiences acceleration, finds it a bit much, person then holds on for dear life on handle located between the legs, person tugs too hard and ejects.
