Yep - as soon as I saw the article title “2013 Dodge Caravan Camper” I was all “RENTAL!!!!” Maybe close to asking price *if* it was a private party rig from the get go *and* it had half the miles.

This made me laugh more than it should. Not criticising but if the van had said 2020 and the trailer 2021 that would have been even more accurate. Had the trailer also been ablaze it would have been epic.

I’m in the collision repair industry and when that video hit, the boomers coming out of the woodwork to defend the ‘59 was incredible. Saying that the old car had to have been sabotaged, that it was super rusty (you can see some dirt getting airborne, but it was a pretty intact survivor car)

“Oh yeah? Well, my buddy was in a horrible crash and luckily he wasnt wearing a seatbelt so he was thrown clear! New cars SUCK!!!”

Tater Tot Hot Dish and Sir Plows a Lot...

Never let Carey Mahoney park your car.

Seeing it next to the white Bronco in the driveway, I’d wager he also cosplays the OJ slow speed chase over and over and over...

Jack up the radiator cap & drive a new vehicle under it. This thing is Donezo.

Apparently the popped up trunk lid failed to induce enough drag to have prevented the accident.

In the early 90s I went to this cheap-ass car lot in Seattle looking for an advertised $150 “Mechanics Special” ‘79 Fairmont V8 coupe. Guy in the trailer says “yeah, its out back - got a bad motor”. Go back and look and its pretty clean - 302/auto. Go back and ask the guy if he cared if I ran a compression test on it…

Based on the product concept ‘I-Fu-Doo-Doo,’

Back in 1988 I worked at a small tire store/repair shop in Seattle. We lifted new Samurais for the local dealer. A lot porter put one on its side on the way back to the dealer.

There’s no plates on this thing.  There’s a reason for that and I really doubt it’s something as benign as the owner just hasnt found the mounting screws for them.

Thing is, the plentiful junkyard parts you speak of - just aren’t anymore. Most all have returned to the earth from which they came.  There’s a reason this thing doesnt have any plates on it.  Its been ages since its been registered and with the misfire which could be pretty sinister if its been driven long with it…

The bed and drivetrain aside, is that a Dodge B-van grille?

So that “weird skylight over the rear seats” actually has a purpose.  It is for a pop-up roll bar to exit through in a rollover.

Such an underrated movie. Love it.

I get bad flashbacks just THINKING about the engine vacuum diagrams on 70's Fords.

Before I hit the See all replies button I was a little afraid of what might display...

The battery in the fenderwell irritates me to no end. Convinced that Chrysler got the first one to the end of the assembly line and went to drive it off and realized they forgot to add the battery.
