Why doesn’t work? Google says ask can be a noun. And Goonies Google doesn’t lie!

lol, this article was linked to 7/18's living in vans post. I didn’t realize it was that old!

I think he wanted the stealth, security, and simplicity of avoiding an RV.  If he has access to food and showers, he doesn’t need the maintenance of an Rv.

How Christina Applegate gets no attention for being part of this skit Shows how great Chris’ did.

I think the coast is a big factor. Once you have waterfront it pumps the home prices because land is more finite. If one sets up shop in the Midwest, there’s almost always another cornfield to plow under and develop so it takes much longer for prices to rise.

Pensacola?

I live in Minnesota, there’s a real difference between 40 and -40.

I think with the right situation (single, fair weather, urban, gym membership and laundry mat) and mindset it would be a means to an end. The “stealth” campers using a clean minivan with the tinted windows covered on the inside or a white contractors van with simple bed and storage solution could allow one to bank…

Sorry for your loss. Maybe you could do a track day rental of a c8 in year or so in your friends honor?

thanks for sharing, reminds me of this post:

It can crab walk, too. 4ws ftw!

The closest that matches the RAV4 that’s not a crossover would be the Transit Connect.

It is a bigger car, but some of that size is because of the height, which is taken up by ground clearance, which nearly 100% of the time is not utilized. Unlike a van, that trades ground clearance for interior volume with a lower floor and smaller wheels.

It depends where you are and time. Friday afternoon? You’ll cover a third of the distance. Heck Maryland isn’t a big state, but it’s divided by the Chesapeake Bay with only a few bridges. It takes 5 hrs to cross from McHenry to Pokomoke City, MD. 300 miles 

“Public Distrust of government is at historic lows”

They are both compacts.

Other than the Allisons and some exceptions, GM does make their own transmissions.  They even sold them to BMW and Jaguar.

Comparing fuel economy for two cars in different classes is silly. The Buick is 19" longer, 300 lbs heavier, and has 50 more horsepower.

Maybe? I only see the amber side markers on the rear seat convertible, which has to be very low production. ECE cars may have Amber side markers so maybe MB was just reducing variation? Typically the stretch limos in Europe need amber sidemarkers halfway down the side if they’ve are over a certain length. They…

Beautiful pictures!
